Arundinella pumila, commonly known as small plaingrass, is a species of grass native to various regions of Asia, including India, Nepal, Bhutan, and China. It can be found growing in grasslands, open areas, and disturbed habitats in these regions. This plant is also known as Dwarf reedgrass. This plant belongs to the plant family Poaceae, where most of the grasses reside.

This grass is a perennial grass species that typically grows in tufts or clumps. It has slender, wiry stems that can reach heights of around 30 to 60 centimeters (12 to 24 inches). The leaves of Arundinella pumila are narrow and elongated, with a grassy green color. They are generally fine-textured and can form dense mats or tufts.

The flowers are usually inconspicuous and not particularly showy. The plant typically produces small seeds that are dispersed through mechanisms such as wind, water, or animals.
