Leersia oryzoides is a species of grass known by the common name rice cutgrass[1] or just cut-grass.

[2] It is a widespread grass native to Europe, Asia, and North America and present in many other regions, such as Australia, as an introduced species.

This is a rhizomatous perennial grass growing to a maximum height between 1 and 1.5 meters.

The inflorescence is a loose, open array of wavy, hairlike branches bearing rows of spikelets.

Each spikelet is a flat fruit with a rough, bristly lemma without an awn, and no glumes.
