| ID Features: | Nodes are fuzzy with the ligule long and appearing as rabbit ears when dry. The panicle is 8 to 12 inches long and bronze to yellowish with ½-inch awns, bent once and closely twisted to the bend. It decreases with heavy grazing but produces high yields when managed in a pure stand. | |
