A densely ctespitose, erect perennial, to 4 dm. high, with narrow, involute leaves and rather loose, narrow panicles 3 to 6 cm. in length. Culms very slender, much branched at base, striate, scabrous or scabro-pubescent below the nodes and panicle, otherwise smooth; nodes brown, the lower ones densely bearded with long white hairs, the hairs on upper nodes shorter, sheaths loose, compressed, glabrous or usually slightly scabrous on the keel, margins nearly smooth below, densely ciliate-fringed with long white hairs above; ligule brown, very short, densely ciliate with spreading white hairs 3 t© 5 mm. long; basal leaves numer- ous, those of the culms 1 or 2, linear, 5 to 10 cm. long, 2 to 4 mm. wide, rather soft, becoming involute-setaceous, densely bearded at the throat with spreading white hairs, which equal or exceed those of the ligule, the upper sur- face pilose with long white hairs, the lower surface smooth or only slightly scabrous. Panicle somewhat exserted, about6 mm. in diameter, pale, few-flowered; axis undulate, angular, scabro - pubescent, branches 2 mm. long or less; setffi single or in pairs, green, flexuous, antrorsely scabrous, 2 to 5 mm. long. Spikelets oblong-ovate, acute, 3-nerved, barely 2 mm. long; firstglume triangular - ovate, acute, 3- nerved, one-third as long as the spikelet; second glume broad- ly ovate, obtuse, apiculate, 5- nerved, two-thirds to three- fourths as long as the flowering glume; third glume equaling the flowering glume, 5-nerved, subtending a hyaline, lanceolate palea two-thirds its own length; flowering glume narrowly ovate, acute, apiculate, nearly smooth, striate and pitted below, not rugose, nearly smooth, sliining at the apex, the inc
