" Echinochloa colona (L.) Link 1833" is a type of wild grass originating from tropical Asia that was formerly classified as a type of panicum grass.

Habitat

Throughout tropical Asia and Africa in fields and along roadsides.

Usage

Often used in times of food shortage as a famine food. Apparently in Chad (central)and Sudan (Kordofan, Darfur) the seeds of this plant are ground into flour from which porridge or bread can be prepared. Whilst in Rajasthan in India the seeds are used as rice - hence its common name in English jungle rice from Anglo-Indian English jungle, "Wild" < Hindustani jangal, m. sg., "id"., and not the later development in Anglo-Indian English rainforest.
