Overview: A grass which can grow to over 1 m tall, or to 5 m long in deep water.
Stem and leaves: The stem is upright and composed of a series of joint-like nodes, with a leaf growing from each node.
Seeds: The seeds (or grain) grow on branch-like spikes which arch over. The grain is the most economically important part of the rice plant, and its endosperm is the final product consumed.
There are many cultivar groups of Oryza sativa of which the two most important are O. sativa 'Indica' and O. sativa 'Japonica'.
O. sativa 'Indica' produces long-grain rice and is grown in tropical areas such as southeast Asia and the Philippines, whilst the short-grained O.sativa 'Japonica' is cultivated in temperate areas including Japan and northern China. Another species, O. glaberrima , is cultivated on a much smaller scale in Africa.
'Wild rice' is produced from an entirely different species of grass, Zizania palustris , and is harvested from wild plants in North America.
