Panicum (panicgrass) is a large genus of about 250 species of grasses mostly native to tropical regions.
== Description == The flowers are produced in a well-developed panicle often up to in length with numerous seeds, which are long and broad. 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.
