Australian wild rice.

Is this article only about America, or what about a new section? Australia has at least four species of wild rice (A) Oryza rufipogon, (B) O. meridionalis, (C) O. australiensis, and (D) Potamophila parviflora. It has been eaten for ages.

The article is about the genus Zizania and its species, not any of the wild species in the the "true rice" genus Oryza. Plantdrew (talk) 01:49, 14 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
