Stems 1-6 in., erect or inclined from the long creeping base, usually stout, com- 

 pressed below. Leaves 2-4 in., strict, flat or involute, glabrous or sparsely hairy 

 towards the flattened sheath. Spikes close together, L-l in., raohis narrower than 

 the 2-seriate spikelets. Glumes faintly nerved. Apparently a rarer plant in India 

 than in most tropical countries. Andaman Isld. specimens have a stout, woody, 

 creeping stem, with thickened nodes, and very short, erect flowering branches, with 

 distichous, subulate, spreading leaves, and spikes partially exserted from the upper- 

 most sheath.
