Indian millet is a name widely used in different parts of the world to describe a number of different plants. A possibly incomplete list is:

  • Sorghum bicolor (synonym: Sorghum vulgare)
  • Stipa hymenoides
  • Panicum miliaceum
  • Penicillaria spicata
  • Achnatherum hymenoides
  • Oryzopsis hymenoides

    • All of these are members of the family Poaceae and they are either fodder or grain producing plants.
