striate, shorter than the internodes; ligule less than 0.5 mm long; 
blades flat, smooth beneath, scabrous on the upper surface, 2 to 5 
cm long, the uppermost about 1 cm long, 1 mm or less wide; racemes 
solitary, slender, terminating the main culms, glabrous throughout, 
3 to 5 cm long, the rachis rather thick; sessile spikelet oblong-lanceo-
