Plants densely cespitose, with caudices. Basal rosettes poorly differentiated; blades scarcely separable from the crowded lower cauline blades. Culms 5-55 cm, slender, erect to spreading, lower internodes short, upper 3-5 internodes elongate; fall phase usually forming a dense cushion. Cauline leaves 2-4; ligules membranous, ciliate; blades soft, green to yellowish, margins usually ciliate. Primary panicles exserted at maturity. Spikelets 1.1-2.3 mm, broadly ellipsoid to obovoid, glabrous or pubescent. Upper florets subacute or minutely umbonate.
