It is an annual grass of the family Poaceae (APG classification: Poaceae). It is covered with soft hairs. The culm is erect, 30-80 cm tall, and the leaf is 3-6 mm wide. From May to July, the culm has a long, slender branch at the tip, and produces a slightly drooping panicle. The spikelet is flattened and oblong, 1.5-2.5 cm long, 5-8 mm wide, and contains several florets. The first and second glumes each have three or seven veins. The glumes are rough, and the awns emerge from between the two teeth at the top. The longest awns can be more than 9 mm long. It grows in fields and wastelands, and is widely distributed from Hokkaido to Kyushu, and in the temperate zones of the Northern Hemisphere. The name comes from the fact that the spikelets resemble those of wild oat (also known as oat), which is also in the grass family, but are smaller and inedible.
