Culms (85) 90-120 cm. Sheaths smooth; collars glabrous; ligules (2) 3-4 (6) mm; blades (12) 16-28 (30) cm long, (2) 6-8 (12) mm wide, glaucous on both surfaces. Panicles (11) 14-18 (22) cm long, (1.5) 2-3 (3.5) cm wide; branches (2.5) 5-7 (7.5) cm. Spikelets (4) 5 (6) mm; rachilla prolongations with 1.5-2 (3) mm hairs. Callus hairs 2 (3) mm, 0.5-0.7 times as long as the lemmas; lemmas 3 (4) mm, 1 (2) mm shorter than the glumes; awns 3-3.5 mm, attached to the lower 1/10 – 3/10 of the lemmas; anthers 2-2.5 mm. 2n = 56.
