|discussion=<p>The Olyreae is primarily a New World tribe that extends from Mexico to Argentina and southern Brazil. It includes about 20 genera and 110 species. One species has been found in tropical Africa and Sri Lanka; it is not clear whether it is native or introduced to those regions. One species is sold as an ornamental in the United States. It is included here as a representative of this fascinating group of grasses.</p>
