- Perennial; caespitose. Rhizomes short; pachymorph. Culms 200-400 cm long; 7-10 mm diam.; woody. Culm-internodes terete; 20 cm long. Lateral branches dendroid. Branch complement several; in a horizontal line; with subequal branches; thinner than stem. Culm-sheaths 10-12 cm long; hairy on margins. Culm-sheath blade linear; reflexed; 4-6 cm long. Leaf-sheaths striately veined; glabrous on surface. Leaf-sheath oral hairs scanty; deciduous. Ligule a ciliolate membrane; 1 mm long. Leaf-blade base with a brief petiole-like connection to sheath; petiole 0.3-0.4 cm long. Leaf-blades lanceolate; 7-12 cm long; 10-15 mm wide. Leaf-blade venation with 8-10 secondary veins; with distinct cross veins. Leaf-blade surface smooth, or scabrous; rough adaxially. Leaf-blade apex attenuate.
- Morphology Reproductive morphology Inflorescences
- Inflorescence composed of racemes; subtended by a spatheole; embraced at base by subtending leaf. Spatheole elliptic; 3-5 cm long. Racemes 1; single; oblong; unilateral; 2-3 cm long. Spikelet packing crowded; irregular. Spikelets solitary. Fertile spikelets pedicelled.
- Morphology Reproductive morphology Inflorescences Spikelets
- Spikelets comprising 3-5 fertile florets; with diminished florets at the apex. Spikelets oblong; laterally compressed; 12-20 mm long; breaking up at maturity; disarticulating below each fertile floret.
- Fertile
- Spikelets comprising 3-5 fertile florets; with diminished florets at the apex. Spikelets oblong; laterally compressed; 12-20 mm long; breaking up at maturity; disarticulating below each fertile floret.
- Morphology Reproductive morphology Inflorescences Bracts Glume
- Glumes persistent; similar; shorter than spikelet. Lower glume lanceolate; 10-13 mm long; chartaceous; without keels. Lower glume surface puberulous. Lower glume apex attenuate; awned; 1 -awned. Lower glume awn 2 mm long. Upper glume lanceolate; 9-11 mm long; chartaceous; without keels; 3 -veined. Upper glume surface puberulous. Upper glume apex attenuate; awned; 1 -awned. Upper glume awn 4 mm long.
