Plants perennial in tangled masses; culms slender, subcompressed, with a line of pubescence down one side or glabrous, rarely sparsely pilose, straggling, widely creeping, rooting at the lower nodes, as much as 2 meters long, freely branching, the branches usually divergent, becoming nearly as long as the primary culm; nodes puberulent or glabrate; leaf-sheaths much shorter than the usually elongate internodes, sparsely papillose-pilose or papillose only, densely ciliate on the margin, puberulent at the juncture with the blade; ligule about 0.3 mm. long; blades thin, flat, spreading, 5-10 cm. (rarely as much as 15 cm.) long, 5-10 mm. wide, narrowly lanceolate, acuminate, rounded and usually ciliate at base, scaberulous on both surfaces at least on the midnerve, usually papillose-hispid above the ligule, sometimes sparsely so throughout; panicles of two kinds, the primary short-exserted or included at base, loose and open, 10-15 cm. long, half to two thirds as wide, the axis and branches slender, subflexuous, scaberulous, pubescent in the axils, the few branches solitary or in pairs, remote, simple or nearly so, finally spreading, few-flowered, the branches and short-pediceled apparently unfruitful spikelets more or less appressed to the rachis, the secondary panicles terminal on the branches, reduced, narrow, few-flowered, partially enclosed in the sheath, the crowded, apparently cleistogamous spikelets fruitful; spikelets 3-3.5 mm. long, 1.2-1.4 mm. wide, those of the primary panicles usually glabrous, those of the secondary panicles usually pustulose-villous, turgid; first glume about two thirds as long as the spikelet, obtuse, 3-5-nerved; second glume and sterile lemma equal, covering the fruit, 7-nerved, the middle internerves of the sterile lemma in the pubescent spikelets usually glabrous, the midnerve sometimes indistinct; fruit 2.8-2.9 mm, long, 1.1-1.2 mm. wide, apiculate.
