A small, rigid, wiry, tufted, glabrous species, with slender culms a span long, leafy nearly to the panicle, and 

 small, rather lax, few-flowered panicles. — Sheaths slender, furrowed, glabrous, with a tuft of long hairs on each side 

 at the summit, and a short ciliated ligula, or simply a row of hairs. Leaves involute, rigid, spreading. Glumes 

 equal, one-nerved, glabrous except towards the acuminate tips, which are scabrid. Florets about three, included, 

 less hairy than in the other species, each with a ring of hairs at the base. Lower palea with seven nerves, and a 

 small tuft of a few long hairs on either side, between the outermost nerve and the margin. Lateral awns very short, 

 middle one twice as long, shortly exserted beyond the glumes. Ovary broad, pedicelled, with diverging styles, very 

 remote at the base, and very scanty plumose stigmata.— This appears to be a most distinct species.
