Oryzopsis
hymenoides Used for food by the native Indians out west,
especially when the maize crops failed. Used like wild rice, even though
it is not a true rice. It could also be ground and used as a flour to make
bread. The plant is very ornamental. It is naturally found in hot
dry soils out west. The seedheads can reach a height of almost a meter.
Great in dried flower arrangements. Xeric plant, meaning it is an
extremely drought tolerant plant. Wild birds love to eat the seeds of this
plant. Mourning Dove (Zenaida macroura) is especially fond of the flavor
of this natural grass.
