Culms diffuse, erect, 7–17 m tall and 4–10 cm in diameter; internodes terete, 30–70 cm long, green, thickly white powdery when young, glabrous; supra-nodal ridges weakly prominent or flattened; sheath scars prominent, with a ring of dense brown setae when young, glabrescent when old. Mid-culm branch complement with three branches. Culm leaf sheaths initially pale green, turning to gold-yellow, yellow-brown or pale red-brown when old, caducous, triangular, thickly leathery, abaxially sparsely brown setose and white powdery, base densely brown setose, margins densely ciliate; auricles ovate to falcate, 3.5–10 × 2–6 mm; oral setae well-developed, many, scabrid, radiating or curly, 0.5–1 cm long; ligules fragile, arcuate, 2–4 mm tall, abaxially pubescent, apex with deciduous short cilia; blades erect or reflexed, easily deciduous, narrowly triangular to lanceolate, 2–12.5 × 0.7–3 cm, apex acuminate, base broadened or slightly narrowed. Foliage leaves 3 or 4 per ultimate branch; sheaths 4–6.5 cm long, glabrous, longitudinal ribs conspicuous; auricles absent; oral setae usually absent or several at the lowest one or two sheath apex; ligules truncate, 1–2 mm tall, abaxially pubescent; blades lanceolate, papery, 5–15 × 0.8–2 cm, base subrounded or cuneate, abaxially pubescent, adaxially glabrous, both margins serrulate, secondary veins 4–6 pairs, transverse veins conspicuous, margins serrulate. Inflorescence raceme-like, with (1 –) 2–4 spikelets, axis glabrous, without white powder, basal internodes 6–8 mm long, glabrous; spikelet pedicels 3–12 mm long, glabrous, without white powder, basally subtended by a small membranous bract. Spikelets slightly laterally compressed, (1.5 –) 5–7.5 cm long, fertile florets 3–12 (– 15), uppermost one not fully developed; rachilla segments compressed, 5–10 mm long, pubescent, with several longitudinal ridges; glumes 2, first glume narrowly triangular, ca. 8 mm long, apically pubescent or glabrous, 1–3 - veined, apex acute; second glume ovate to lanceolate, ca. 11 mm long, indumentum the same as the first glume, 7–9 - veined; lemma lanceolate, ca. 13 mm long, abaxially sparsely pubescent at the upper parts, while glabrous at other parts or glabrous wholly, white powdery, 11–15 - veined, apex acuminate; palea shorter than or equal to lemma, 9–13 mm long, 2 - keeled, keels white ciliate on the upper parts, 4 or 5 - veined between keels, 3 - veined outside keels each side, apex acute; lodicules 3, 2.5–4 × 1–1.4 mm, ovate, the upper parts membranous, while middle and lower parts fleshy, margins sparsely ciliate; stamens 6, anthers initially yellow, brown when old, 4–5 mm long, filaments ca. 4 mm long; ovary ovate, ca. 1 mm long; style 1, 2–2.5 mm long; stigmas 3, plumose.
