About

Sorghum arundinaceum, the common wild sorghum, is a species of flowering plant in the family Poaceae.

It is the wild progenitor of cultivated sorghum, Sorghum bicolor, with some authorities considering it to be a mere variety or subspecies; Sorghum bicolor var. arundinaceum, or Sorghum bicolor subsp. verticilliflorum.
