Spodiopogon Formosanus
''Spodiopogon formosanus'' or the Taiwan oil millet ( zh, t=臺灣油芒, p=táiwān yóumáng) (syn.: ''Eccoilopus formosanus'') is a species of perennial grass in the family Poaceae. It is endemic to Taiwan. It is traditionally grown as a cereal crop by Taiwanese indigenous peoples. Its wild progenitor is most likely '' Spodiopogon cotulifer'', which is found in Taiwan and also in mainland China. For most of the 20th century, the Taiwan oil millet had been misidentified as '' Echinochloa esculenta'' (the Japanese barnyard millet or ''hie'' 稗) until it was "rediscovered" by Dorian Fuller in the 2000s with the proper identification of specimens as ''Spodiopogon formosanus''. Cultivation In the Rukai village of Vedray (霧台 Wutai), the Paiwan village of Masilid, and the Bunun village of Tahun, the Taiwan oil millet is grown alongside other cereal crops such as rice, foxtail millet, sorghum, and Job's tears (and also finger millet and proso millet in Tahun).

Millets are important crops in the Semi-arid climate, semiarid tropics of Asia and Africa, especially in India, Mali, Nigeria, and Niger, with 97% of production in Developing country, developing countries. The crop is favoured for its Agricultural productivity, productivity and short growing season under hot dry conditions. The millets are sometimes understood to include the widely cultivated sorghum; apart from that, pearl millet is the most commonly cultivated of the millets. Finger millet, proso millet, and foxtail millet are other important crop species.
