Calamagrostis spruceana
bears similarities to
C. macrophylla
,
C. secunda
and
C. macrostachya
due to its open inflorescence, short hairs of the callus, rachilla hairs not reaching the apex of the palea and awn inserted slightly above the middle of the lemma (
Sodiro 1930
: 70; Zulma

de Agrasar, pers. comm.).
