This tentative map is based on our own research. It may have limited data on Canada and/or Mexico, and there is some subjectivity in our assignment of plants as introduced vs. expanded. Read more in this blog post.
Although this plant occurs somewhere in each of these regions, it may only occur in a small part of some or all of them.
This species, widely planted as a food crop, frequently escapes cultivation. It is also introduced in both Canada and southern Mexico; we have yet to build these portions of its range.
↑Uses
Foxtail millet is the second most-frequently cultivated species of millet, after pearl millet (Cenchrus americanus). Note that different plants called "millet" are not necessarily in the same genus, although both of these happen to be in the Cenchrinae subtribe.
