oryzoid

Of or pertaining to rice-like plants of the Oryzoideae.

The oryzoid grasses were studied by the agrostologist.

The fact that bambusoid and oryzoid grasses share certain anatomical features , such as embryo structure and the presence of fusoid and arm cells in the leaf blade, led some sytematists to include the oryzoid grasses with the Bambusoideae.

A grass of the subfamily Oryzoideae.

Of the smaller groupings in our classification, the oryzoids represent a small series of closely related genera, whose closest affinities may lie with the bamboos.

The Bambusoideae consist of three large groups: the woody bambusoids, represented in our area by tribe Bambuseae Dumor. (including tribe Arundinarieae Ascherson & Graebner); the herbaceous bambusoids, represented by tribes Phareae Stapf and Brachyelytreae Ohwi; and the oryzoids, represented by the Oryzeae Dumort.
