Plants loosely cespitose. Culms usually glabrous and smooth throughout, rarely sparsely puberulent near the inflorescence. Sheaths brownish, slowly shredding into fibers; abaxial sclerenchyma strands about as wide as the adjacent veins, less than 2 times as wide as high. Glumes and lemmas puberulent throughout or only near the apices. 2n = 56.

Discussion
