|discussion=<p><i>Oryza longistaminata</i> is native to Africa; it has not yet been found in North America. It is included here because its establishment in North America would seriously impact North American agriculture. The U.S. Department of Agriculture considers it a noxious weed; plants found growing within the United States should be promptly reported to that agency.</p><!--
--><p>In its native range, <i>Oryza longistaminata</i> grows in swampy areas, pond and lake edges, irrigation canals, and streams and rivers in areas that are permanently wet or seasonally dry.</p>
