Leaves narrower, flat, tending to roll up, scabrid above and hairy beneath. |
The first glume is rigidly coriaceous, gradually narrowed from a villous base to an erect scabrid awn, 1-nerved. |
The first glume is oblong-lanceolate, 5-nerved, pitted above the middle, with recurved margins and scabrid keels and nerves. |
The second glume is lanceolate, acuminate, equal to or a little longer than the third glume with a scabrid keel. |
The flowering glume is awned, strongly 5-nerved, nerves scabrid and ciliate, the lateral nerves being marginal. |
Very like a Poa when opened out, but the leaves are scabrid at the sheaths. |
