The leaf blades exist at the base of the individual's stems, and reach a length between 11 and 50 centimeters (approximately 4.33 to 19.69 inches) with a width of 2 to 10 millimeters.[2]
Inflorescence most commonly occurs in units of 45 per culm, although the number can vary from anywhere between 7 and 97.[3]
