Very nearly allied to EF. arenarius L. and may sometimes have 
been taken for this species, but the flowers are smaller and the 
glumes narrower and shorter and of softer texture.

Stoloniferous. Culm often more than one metre high. Leaves 
generally involute. Glumes lanceolate, rigid, as long as the spikelets. 
Glumes and pales more or less densely hairy. Sometimes the 
culms are short, only about 20 cm. high, and the spikes short and 
thick. In Arctic regions the glumes seem always to be hairy 
(f. villosa E. Meyer) and may therefore sometimes have been con- 
founded with E. mollis Trin.
