Panicum is a large genus encompassing about 450 species of grass. Panicum can be found throughout the tropical regions of the world, with a few species extending into the northern temperate zone. They are often large, annual or perennial grasses, growing to between 1m and 3m tall. The flowers are produced in a well-developed panicle often up to 60 cm in length with numerous seeds. The fruits are developed from a two-flowered spikelet. Only the upper floret of each spikelet is fertile; the lower floret is sterile or staminate. Both glumes are present and well developed.
