Setaria is a genus of grasses in the Poaceae family. The name is derived from the Latin word seta, meaning "bristle" or "hair", which refers to the bristly spikelets.[2] The genus includes over 100 species distributed throughout the tropical and subtropical world,[3] and members are commonly known as foxtail or bristle grasses.[1] Several species are cultivated for food or as animal fodder, such as foxtail millet (S. italica) and korali (S. pumila), while others are agricultural weeds.[4]
