Abstract
Rhizomatous perennials, herbaceous, the culms hollow. Leaves with broad blades, with pseudopetioles, without auricles, the ligule a fringed membrane. Inflorescences branched or unbranched, sometimes with minute bracts subtending the branches. Spikelets with multiple flowers, the proximal several staminate or sterile, the distal ones pistillate or bisexual. Stigmas 2 or 3. Caryopsis with a long, linear hilum, the embryo small, its detailed structure unknown.
