The geminate branches of the panicle, which are bare and 
unbranched for half or more than half their length, give a 
characteristic appearance to the inflorescence. The keel and 
marginal nerves of the fertile glumes bear more and longer 
hairs than usual in the species. There is a scanty tuft of wool 
on the short pedicel.
