Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture

Oryza (derived from the Arabic name, Eruz). Gramineae. Marsh plants, with fls. in panicles: spike- lets 1-fld., laterally compressed; glumes 2, minute; lemma and palea about equal, keeled, scabrous, the former usually more or less awned.—Six species of the tropics, including O. saliva, Linn., the well-known rice of commerce. Dept. Agric., Div. Agrost. 20:49. This is a native of the Old World tropics, and is naturalized in Brazil; cult, extensively in China and India and more recently in the coast region of our southern states. Contrary to the usual supposition, rice paper is not made from rice, but from paper mulberry or bamboo.
