Description
It is 40–100 centimetres (16–39 in) high, while its eciliate membrane is 5–7 millimetres (0.20–0.28 in) long. Its leaf-blades are erect, conduplicated, and sometimes ascend. They are 20–40 centimetres (7.9–15.7 in) long and are 1–1.5 millimetres (0.039–0.059 in) wide with smooth surface which can also be scaberulous and glabrous. The panicles are smooth and contracted. Also, they are elliptic and 10–15 centimetres (3.9–5.9 in) in length. They bear a few spikelets which are glabrous or ciliate and can range from 45–70 millimetres (1.8–2.8 in) in length. Compressed spikelets have only 1 floret which doesn't have rhachilla extension. Its floret callus is elongated, bearded, pungent, straight, curved and is 3–4 millimetres (0.12–0.16 in) in length. It glumes are similar to the fertile spikelet. The lower glume is 60–80 millimetres (2.4–3.1 in) long and is lanceolate. The upper glume is also lanceolated and is 40–70 millimetres (1.6–2.8 in) long.[4]
