Principal lemma awn apical, or from a sinus 0.2-0.6 mm long overall.
Lemma apex entire, or dentate 3 -fid with lobes 0.1 mm long acute mucronate. Morphology Reproductive morphology Flowers Floretsįertile lemma ovate 3.7-4.5 mm long membranous much thinner above keeled 5 -veined. Upper glume lateral veins absent, or distinct.
Upper glume primary vein scaberulous (above). Upper glume lanceolate 4.7-5.6 mm long 1.3 length of adjacent fertile lemma membranous with hyaline margins 1-keeled 1 -veined, or 3 -veined. Lower glume lateral veins absent, or distinct.
Lower glume primary vein scaberulous (above). Lower glume lanceolate 4.4-5.6 mm long 1 length of upper glume membranous much thinner on margins 1-keeled 1 -veined, or 3 -veined. Glumes persistent similar exceeding apex of florets. Morphology Reproductive morphology Inflorescences Bracts Glume Spikelets oblong laterally compressed 3-10 mm long with hairs extending 4.5-5.6 mm beyond apex breaking up at maturity disarticulating below each fertile floret. Spikelets comprising 1 fertile florets without rhachilla extension. Morphology Reproductive morphology Inflorescences Spikelets Primary panicle branches spreading 1-3 -nate 0.4-0.6(-1) cm long bearing 1 fertile spikelets on each lower branch. Panicle open oblong 2-3 cm long bearing few spikelets. Inflorescence a panicle comprising 8-11 fertile spikelets. Morphology Reproductive morphology Inflorescences Leaf-blades flat, or conduplicate, or involute 1.5-4.5 cm long 0.5-0.8 mm wide. Ligule an eciliate membrane 0.5-2.5 mm long lacerate. Leaf-sheaths open for most of their length with 0.25 of their length closed 4 cm long. Culms erect, or geniculately ascending 15-20 cm long 2-3 -noded without nodal roots, or rooting from lower nodes. Butt sheaths persistent and investing base of culm with fibrous dead sheaths.
