Spikelets solitary, sessile at nodes, edgewise to sinuous antrorsely toothed rachis, appressed, imbricate, in narrow slender spikes of 10 – 30 spikelets with 1–3 awned to mucronate florets disarticulating above glumes; glumes parallel to rachis, scabrid, aristate > rachis internodes, or absent or reduced to small stumps; rachis prolonged. A flat, thin and hairy stoloniferous grass with extravaginal branching, and with long graceful smooth culms with drooping or nodding inflorescences.
