It has been introduced to parts of North America and Australia, where it is a common weed that grows in disturbed, high-traffic areas, including parking lots, roadsides, and playing fields. This species is a sturdy annual grass that grows in low, flat clumps of short stems, with some stems growing prostrate and some growing upright. Its flat, overlapping leaf blades measure a few centimeters in length. Its inflorescence consists of a crowded, one-sided series of flattened spikelets.
