    Description - Similar to I. pallens, but the blades wider in proportion to the length, usually scabrous on the upper surface, and the spikelets sometimes sparsely hispid. In open ground the plants may be robust, as much as a meter tall. On the forest floor the plants may be prostrate and matlike with rounded inflorescence.
