|discussion=<p><i>Neyraudia</i> is a genus of 2-4 species from the tropics of the Eastern Hemisphere. One Asian species is established in Florida. It differs from the other species in the genus in having a sterile lemma at the base of the spikelets. Reports of <i>Neyraudia</i> arundinacea occurring in the Flora region have not been substantiated.</p><!--
--><p><i>Neyraudia</i> is often mistaken for <i>Phragmites</i>, but that genus has villous rachilla internodes and glabrous lemmas.</p>
