Botanic information
Leaf: The mid green thin leathery textured narrow lanceolate leaves are up to 300 mm (1 ft) long by 70 mm (2⅔ in) wide with a truncate ligule and the smooth glaborous petiole sheaves the stem. The pendant leaves are arranged alternatively towards the end of the stems that are upright to arching.

Flower: The large dense panicle is elliptical in outline, up to 500 mm (20 in) long and has many flattened branches and numerous spikelets and is held above the foliage on a slender scape. The cylindrical spikelets are up to 2 mm long with 2-flowers. The glumes are paper-like with the lower glum apex sinus and the upper glum apex rounded. They appear during summer and persist on the plant.  

Fruit: The small caryopsis (seeds) are viable but the plant is commonly reproduced vegetatively.
