Oryza rufipogon is a species of flowering plant in the family Poaceae.[2][3] It is known as brownbeard rice,[4] wild rice,[5] and red rice.[5] In 1965, Oryza nivara was separated off from O. rufipogon. The separation has been questioned,[6] and some sources consider O. nivara to be a synonym of O. rufipogon.[7] O. nivara may be treated as the annual form of O. rufipogon.[8]
