It flaunts an upright growth pattern with a hirsute or hairy texture on its stems and leaves, giving it a rough appearance. The plant's robust yet slender form allows it to thrive in water-saturated soils, displaying small, clustered spikelets that serve as its unique identification markers. Adapted to moist environments, fuirena hirsuta's structural features enable it to tolerate and even flourish in flooded conditions.
