A very slender, somewhat csespitose annual 3 to 6 dm. high, with elongated, interrupted jjanicles and narrow, linear leaves 1 to dm. in length. Culms much branched from the base, geniculate, glabrous, cylindrical, very slender; nodes smooth; sheaths about equaling the inter- nodes, pubescent, ciliate on the margins; ligule short, ciliate. Leaf-blades linear, 1 to dm. long, 3 to 5 mm. wide, pubes- cent on both sides, slightly scabrous on the midvein and margins, long filiform- attenuate at the apex, the upper ones generally equaling or exceeding the culms. Panicles 5 to 15 cm. long, attenuate, few- flowered; rachis slender, flexuous, angular, pilose; branches very short, not exceeding 5 mm., or obsolete; setse solitary, flexuous, 4 to 10 mm. long, antrorsely scabrous, sometimes someAvhat pilose below. Spikelets ovate, acute, short-pedicellate; first glume nearly one- half as long as the spikelet, ovate, acute, 5-nerved; second glume two-thirds the length of the spikelet,broadly ovaie, acute, short apiculate, 5 to 7 nerved; third glume equaling the spikelet, 5-nerved; flowering glume ovate, acute, short apicu- late, striate, transversely undulate-rugose below,
