(Punjabi: ਘਮੂਰ ghamur, English: blue panicgrass) is a tall (up to 3 metres), coarse, woody perennial grass throughout the Himalaya and the Upper Gangetic Plain and specifically in various regions of the Indian state of Punjab and the Pakistan province of Punjab and the neighbouring areas of these regions.

This grass is also listed by William Coldstream in his Illustrations of Some of the Grasses of the Southern Punjab[1] with the vernacular name ghirri (Punjabi ਘਿੱਰੀ) which he however explains is not known to those landowners that he had interviewed as a separate species of Panicum but rather as an unripe form of Panicum antidotale which is generally called in Punjabi ghamur (ਘਮੂਰ).

Panicum antidotale is found in rich soils that have often been improved with compost or dung be they originally of sand or clay.

[citation needed] This grass is not considered of much use beyond its early tender stages having a bitter or brackish taste when it matures.

It is grown in the southwestern United States as a forage, and can now be found there growing wild as an introduced species.
