Annuals or perennials. Culms solid. Ligule collar-shaped, membranous. Inflorescence paniculate, spatheate, decompound, spikelet-bearing axes very much reduced, clustered in capitules supported by a spatheole, usually persistent, involucre formed by 2 homogamous involucral pairs of male or sterile (sub)sessile spikelets. Rachis disarticulating at the base of the fertile spikelets. Fertile spikelets 1–4, bisexual, callus pungent; lower glumes flat on the back, 9–11-nerved; callus hairy, acute to acuminate (absent in T. gigantea ). Awns (when present) api- cal, stipitate. Pedicels free of the joints. Pedicelled spikelets variously reduced. x = 10.
