Plants perennial, with a succulent, decumbent or creeping base, sometimes as much as 2 meters long, rooting at the nodes, glabrous throughout; culms erect or ascending, 60-100 cm. high, rather thick and succulent; nodes often dark-colored; leaf-sheaths shorter than the internodes, sometimes ciliate near the summit; ligule membranaceous, about 1 mm. long, decurrent down the margin of the sheath; blades linear-lanceolate, 20-35 cm. long, or the upper and lower shorter, usually 15-25 mm. wide, flat, scarcely narrowed at the cordate, sparingly ciliate base, narrowed from about the middle to the acute apex, the margins very scabrous; panicles finally exserted, 20-40 cm. long, about three fourths as wide, consisting of several to many racemes, solitary or fascicled along a main axis, the racemes stiffly ascending, or somewhat spreading, the middle 8-12 cm. or occasionally as much as 18 cm. long, usually spikelet-bearing from base, the spikelets short-pediceled on short, appressed branchlets, thus appearing in somewhat scattered clusters; spikelets 6-7 mm. long, about 1.2 mm. wide, and, by the spreading 3 : 1-88.
