Echinochloa (Greek, echinos, a hedgehog, chloa, grass). Gramineae. Annual grasses with narrow inflorescence of several thick spikes. Sometimes grown for grain and forage, but scarcely horticultural subjects. Spike-Iris as in Panicum; glumes hispid-spiny, mucronate, the sterile lemma more or less awned.— Species about 12, in the warm regions of both hemispheres. Regarded by many botanists as a section of Panicum. E. Crusgalli, Beauv., barnyard grass, is a common weed in cult. soil. The spikelets are usually long-awned, the panicle 4-10 in. long, green or purple. Dept. Agric., Div. Agrost. 7:82.
