The grass has slender creeping rhizomes. The culms are 25–970 centimetres (9.8–381.9 in) tall.[2]Itinflorescence is comprised out of 5–15 fertile spikelets, which are both oblong and compressed, with the length of 6–8 millimetres (0.24–0.31 in). They are comprise out of 2-3 fertile florets that are diminished at the apex. The florets are 5–7 millimetres (0.20–0.28 in) long and are elliptic. Flowers have 3 anthers which are 1.5–2 millimetres (0.059–0.079 in) in length. Glumes are thinner than fertile lemma with the lower one being of 4–6 millimetres (0.16–0.24 in) which is one length of upper one.[3]
