Description
It grows in wet and seasonally wet habitat with alkali soils such as mineral springs. It is an annual bunchgrass with erect stems growing to 20 to 22 centimetres (7.9 to 8.7 in) in maximum height with very narrow, firm leaves around the bases. The inflorescence is a small array of a few narrow branches bearing spikelets.
It is an ephemeral grass, beginning to produce stems near the end of winter, flowering in early spring, dying and withering away by July.[3]
