Panicle contracted, oblong or narrowly pyramidal in outline, 3–12 cm; central axis densely pubescent; branches 1–2(–3) cm, suberect or ascending, inserted singly, spaced below, crowded above, densely spiculate; pedicels short, densely pubescent. Spikelets 5–7 mm, gray-green tinged purplish; glumes 5-veined, setose on veins, apex caudate; lower glume 3.5–5 mm; upper glume 4.5–6 mm; lower floret staminate, ± equaling lower glume; upper floret 2.5–3.5 mm, lemma apex emarginate, awned; awn geniculate with brown twisted column, 2–5 mm; callus hairs 2/5 length of lemma. Fl. and fr. Oct–Nov.
