This new grass somewhat resembles S. sibiricus, but is 

 easily distinguished by its shorter and more densely arranged 

 spicules towards the end of the branchlet, and still more by its 

 pedicelled spicules. Moreover, in this new plant, the base of the 

 spicule is somewhat bare and there is nothing like clustered 

 hairs as is the case with 5. sibiricus. This species also bears 

 some resemblance to 5. formosanus, but differs from it by the 

 long awned glume and hirsute leaves.
