8 cm long. Spikelets are evenly distributed, 4-5 mm long, 2-flowered, unawned and hairless. Germinates in spring and early summer. Flowering is in summer. A native of Africa, it is a weed of disturbed ground, such as cropping, overgrazed pastures, roadsides, gardens and paths. Commonly found around habitation. An indicator of disturbance.
