  根状茎粗壮而较短，宿根性好，分蘖多。秆较细瘦，直立，实心，高约2米，直径1-2厘米。叶鞘长于其节间，鞘口具柔毛；叶片发达，长50厘米以上，宽1-2厘米。圆锥花序主轴及其花序以下的部分秆密生长丝状柔毛；小穗柄向上扩大呈漏斗形，成熟时与总状花序轴节间同落，藉风传播；小穗孪生，同形；无柄小穗长圆形，基盘具长于小穗的丝状柔毛；颖片不具柔毛；第一颖边缘内卷；第一外稃膜质，短于其小穗，第一内稃不存在；第立外稃狭线形，膜质，无芒，正常发育；第二内稃常存在。染色体2n=82- 124（Bremer，1931-1934；Moriya A．，1940）。花果期秋冬季。
  我国广西、云南等地有种植；分布于印度。
  本种能抗旱耐瘠，分蘖多，耐粗放栽培；秆中糖分含量较高，供制糖用，但纤维和淀粉多。

Saccharum barberi  Jeswiet
细秆甘蔗   xi gan gan zhe
Saccharum officinarum Linnaeus subsp. barberi (Jeswiet) Burkill.
Perennial with short stout rhizomes. Culms solid, up to 2 m tall, 1–2 cm in diam., solid, nodes bearded, softly pilose below inflorescence. Leaf sheaths longer than internodes; leaf blades ca. 50 × 1–2 cm, margins serrate; ligule well developed. Panicle very large, axis with white silky hairs. Spikelets oblong; callus hairs longer than spikelet; lower glume oblong, glabrous, margin infolded; lower lemma slightly shorter than glumes; upper lemma narrowly linear, awnless. Fl. and fr. summer and autumn. 2n = 82–124.
Cultivated. Guangxi, Taiwan, Yunnan [originating in Bangladesh and India].
This name covers a group of slender, relatively hardy, cultivated sugarcane clones originating in subtropical N India. These are ancient types not far removed from wild Saccharum spontaneum and now usually included in S. officinarum under cultivar names. They have mostly been superseded by modern, commercial varieties.
