The species'
culms are prostrate and are long. The leaf-blades are ovate and are long and wide. It has an obscure cross veins venation. The species also has 3–4 unilateral
racemes which are located along the central axis, and are long. The central part of the
inflorescence axis is long. It also has angular
rachis which bottom is
glabrous. The
spikelets grow in pairs and are apart from each other. They are also fertile,
pedicelled, and
sessile, with pedicels being oblong. They grow in a cluster of 2 and are subequal. Glumes are shorter than a spikelet and thinner than fertile
lemma. The lower
glume is ovate and have a pubescent surface. Its apex is acute and 1
awned. The awn is long, has no vesture, but is scaberulous. The upper glume is ovate as well but is herbaceous, 1-keeled and has veins of 5–7. Just like the lower glume, it is pubescent on the bottom but has an obtuse apex which can also be mucronate or muticous as well. Florets are 1-keeled and pubescent just like glumes but are 7-11 veined. The lower sterile
floret of the lemma is ovate and is 1 length of a spikelet which is also
emarginate,
membranous and mucronate. The fertile lemma is coriaceous, keelless, oblong, shiny and is long with involute margins and acute apex. ==References==
