原生地・分布（英語）:

説明（英語）: Genus of 4 species of annual, rarely perennial grasses found along field margins and on disturbed ground in Central America. The sturdy stems bear lance-shaped leaves in 2 ranks. They produce terminal, spike-like male panicles, each one with a solitary, stemless spikelet or "ear" on the inter-nodes; axillary female inflorescences consist of numerous spikelets arranged in longitudinal rows on a thickened axis. The female flowers, each with a long, silky style, are enclosed within a spathe bract or "husk", and are followed by a "cob" of fleshy kernels. Z. mays (maize) is an important cereal crop in tropical and temperate regions. A number of ornamental cultivars are valued for their brightly variegated leaves and for their multi-coloured cobs. Grow in a sheltered mixed border or as dot plants in summer bedding schemes.
