Usually 2-33 ft. Umbel primary rays often 8-12 in.; spikes bowing on the 
ultimate rays. Spikelets in ripe fruit collapsing in a tassel (not spreading at right 
angles as in C. distans), rather broader than in C. distans with less remote 
glumes.—It is difficult to draw a line between this species and fine examples of C. 
distans.
