- Morphology General Habit
- Annual; caespitose. Culms erect, or geniculately ascending; 30-90 cm long. Leaf-sheaths outer margin hairy. Leaf-sheath oral hairs ciliate. Leaf-sheath auricles falcate. Ligule absent. Leaf-blades 5-10 cm long; 3-5 mm wide. Leaf-blade surface glabrous, or pilose; hairy adaxially; with tubercle-based hairs. Leaf-blade margins glabrous, or tuberculate-ciliate.
- Morphology Reproductive morphology Inflorescences
- Inflorescence composed of racemes; deciduous as a whole. Racemes 1; single; linear; bilateral; 15-18 cm long; bearing 10-20 fertile spikelets on each. Rhachis fragile at the nodes (tardily); semiterete; glabrous on surface, or pubescent on surface; scaberulous on margins. Spikelet packing broadside to rhachis. Rhachis internodes linear; 10-17 mm long; falling with spikelet above. Spikelets appressed; solitary. Fertile spikelets sessile.
- Sterile
- Basal sterile spikelets absent.
- Morphology Reproductive morphology Inflorescences Spikelets
- Spikelets comprising 5-8 fertile florets; with diminished florets at the apex. Spikelets cuneate; laterally compressed; 8-15 mm long; falling entire; deciduous with accessory branch structures. Basal sterile spikelets absent.
- Fertile
- Spikelets comprising 5-8 fertile florets; with diminished florets at the apex. Spikelets cuneate; laterally compressed; 8-15 mm long; falling entire; deciduous with accessory branch structures.
- Morphology Reproductive morphology Inflorescences Bracts Glume
- Glumes collateral; similar; shorter than spikelet. Lower glume oblong; 5-7 mm long; 1 length of upper glume; coriaceous; without keels; 5 -veined. Lower glume lateral veins ribbed. Lower glume surface glabrous, or pilose. Lower glume apex entire; emarginate, or truncate. Upper glume oblong; 5-7 mm long; 0.9 length of adjacent fertile lemma; coriaceous; without keels; 9 -veined. Upper glume lateral veins ribbed; divergent at apex. Upper glume surface glabrous, or pilose. Upper glume apex emarginate, or truncate.
- Morphology Reproductive morphology Flowers Florets
- Fertile lemma oblong; 7-10 mm long; coriaceous; without keel; 5 -veined. Lemma surface glabrous, or pilose; hairy all along, or above. Lemma apex emarginate, or obtuse; muticous. Palea 2 -veined. Palea keels scaberulous. Apical sterile florets resembling fertile though underdeveloped.
- Morphology Reproductive morphology Flowers
- Lodicules 2; ciliate. Ovary with a fleshy appendage below style insertion; pubescent on apex.
- Morphology Reproductive morphology Fruits
- Caryopsis with adherent pericarp; oblong; sulcate on hilar side; hairy at apex. Embryo 0.5-0.66 length of caryopsis. Hilum linear; 1 length of caryopsis. Disseminule comprising a rhachis internode.
