Two #millets share the spotlight as September's "millet-of-the-month": browntop millet and Guinea millet. Both are in the genus Brachiaria (or Urochloa).
Guinea millet (B. deflexa) probably originated in West Africa, and is now widely distributed in Africa and South Asia (and may be present in Florida and Alabama, per Kew.org). Its edible grains are a food source, but it is apparently cultivated as a crop only in the north of the Futa Jalon plateau of Guinea (and apparently is sometimes lumped together with fonio [Digitaria exilis], a major crop in that region). * https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brachiaria_deflexa * https://www.dineshkhedkar.co.in/mpdb/record.php?act=view&id=MG007
