Description ²

One of the more unique and easily recognizable in the genus and is commonly encountered in woodlands across the Missouri Ozarks. Owing to the name, it is quite prostrate and "floppy"; tufts sprouting long lime-green hairy leaves with marginal cilia halfway up the length. Usually grows in colonies.

Spikelets: 1.7-2.3 mm long, 1.0-1.2 mm wide, broadly ovate or oblong-obovoid, with papillose-based hairs, obtuse.
