Ecdeiocolea is a genus of grass-like plants from Western Australia. It was first defined by von Mueller in 1874.[1] Ecdeiocolea contains two species.[2] [3] The type species is the widespread Ecdeiocolea monostachya F.Muell.
Ecdeiocolea is most closely related to the graminoid families Joinvilleaceae and Poaceae. Molecular phylogenetic studies indicate that Ecdeiocolea is sister to Poaceae. [4]
