Leaves ligulate, 1 – 2 mm wide, small and as long as stems, hairy; sheath densely hairy. Inflorescence simple to sub-compound, 2 – 3 cm long, with 3 – 5 spikelets, involucral bracts 3, foliaceous and setiform, longest bract overtopping the inflorescence. Spikelets solitary, ovoid, 3 – 5 × 3 – 3.5 mm, many flowered. Glumes spiral, ovate, 2 – 3 × 1 – 2 mm, distinctly apiculate, reddish-brown with whitish keel portion on back, many nerved. Stamens 2. Style ciliate, stigma 2 - fid. Nuts biconvex, 1.4 – 1.6 × 0.9 – 1.2 mm, turgid in the center, smoothly sub- trabeculate and with conspicuous tuberculations. Flowering and fruiting: Flowers and fruits were observed during September to October. Habitat: Near roadsides. Distribution: India and Nepal (present record). Specimen examined: NEPAL, Sudur Paschim Province, Kanchanpur district, Shuklaphanta National Park, N 28.811730 °, E 80.16506 °, 200 m, 19.10.2022, Dipa Paneru DP 0221 (KATH). Notes: This species is closely related to Fimbristyis tomentosa, F. dichotoma and F. alboviridis and these are also found in Nepal. However, it differs with F. tomentosa having tuberculate nut surface pattern and broadly obovoid nutlet. It differs with F. dichotoma in having many nerved glumes. It varies from F. alboviridis in having smaller nuts and reddish brown with whitish keel portion on back.	en	D., Paneru, L. R., Joshi, B., Adhikari, Rajbhandary, S.
