Spikelets 3-4-flowered, broadly ovate, 3.5-4.5 mm long; glumes subequal, 1.5-2.2 mm long, the lower lanceolate in profile with a thick scabrid keel, the upper elliptic to narrowly obovate in profile, the smooth keel extended into a stout divergent scabrid awn half to twice as long as the glume; lemmas narrowly ovate to ovate in profile, 2.6-4 mm long, the keel gibbous, concave and scabrid above the middle and often extended into a stout cusp or mucro up to 1 mm long; palea-keels winged or wingless; anthers 0.25-0.8 mm long. Grain about 1 mm long, broadly obovate to obtriangular in profile, transversely rugose.
Annual, tufted, blades shortly ascendent, 20-50 cm high, ramified at base, leafy sheaths smooth, bare. Caryopses of various shapes, mostly ± spherical, lateral compressed, distinct humpy, 0.9-1.1 x 0.7-0.9mm. Surface slight lustrous, pale reddish-brown. 2n = 36 (20, 34, 40).
