Description ²

The most uncommon of the four "grass-like" species, being found only in high quality prairies, glades, and sometimes open woodlands. Look for large (<3.0mm) spikelets born sparsely on the inflorescence and abaxial (lower) leaf surfaces with dense, orderly, ascending hairs.

Spikelets: 2.6-3.4 mm long, 1.0-1.7 mm wide, ellipsoid-obovoid, turgid, finely pubescent.
