Plants perennial; rhizomatous, rhizomes stout, horizontal or vertical. Culms erect, arising in tufts or solitary. Ligules membranous, ciliate. Panicles narrow to lax; branches ascending to spreading; secondary branches and pedicels short, crowded, often appressed. Spikelets ovoid, densely to sparsely villous, hairs silvery or tawny-white, apices acute. Lower glumes about 3/4 as long as the spikelets, (5) 7-9 (11) -veined; upper glumes and lower lemmas 7-15-veined; lower florets staminate; lower paleas as large as the lower lemmas; upper lemmas villous on the basal portion of the margins.
