| ID Features: | This short-lived, warm-season, tufted, perennial grass grows 15 to 40 inches tall with spreading stems growing from a small base. The sheaths usually are smooth but the lower ones can be hairy. Leaves are 5 to 15 inches long and 1/8 to½ inch wide, with many hairs along the margin. The inflorescence usually has two racemes. Flat, round seeds appear in pairs, have a slightly pointed tip and are covered with short, sparse hairs. The base of the plant is knotty and has short rhizomes. It can be differentiated from the other varieties as having narrower leaf blades, shorter spikelets, and gray-green herbage. | |
