Culm slender, 30-90 cm long. Blade firm, narrowly lanceolate, 7-15 cm long by 4-9 mm wide, revolute when dry; sheath loose, shorter than the internode, ciliate on the margins; ligule a row of hairs, about 2 mm long, Panicle 10-20 cm long, pyramidal, branches smooth, spreading when mature. Spikelets 1-1.2 mm long, subglobose; glumes equal, 7-9-nerved, equaling the spikelet or slightly, shorter, glabrous, more or less hispid toward the apex. Florets monomorphic, globose to elliptical-ovate, obtuse, glabrous or puberulent, rachilla short, terete.

Widely distributed in Southeast Asia.
Locally grows at medium altitudes along forest margins.
This is a very common and abundant grass.
