Echinochloa colona, also known as jungli or wild rice, is a wild grass found in tropical Asia and Africa. It is the ancestor of the cultivated cereal crop Echinochloa frumentacea and is sometimes considered the same species. This grass is considered an invasive weed in the Americas and Australia, where it threatens the habitat of native plants. In India, its seeds are used to make a dish called khichadi and are consumed during festival fasting days. It has various names in different languages and is also known as "Shama Millet" in India. The seeds are used by indigenous people as a food source and are pounded and formed into a bread-like substance. Although not native to Australia, it has spread to wetlands and is causing harm to the habitat of native plants.
