Xyris is a genus of flowering plants , the yelloweyed grasses , in the yellow-eyed-grass family . The genus counts over 250 species, widespread over much of the world, with the center of distribution in the Guianas .[2 ] [3 ] [4 ]
The leaves are mostly distichous , linear, flat, and thin or round with a conspicuous sheath at the base. They are arranged in a basal aggregation. The small, yellow flowers are borne on a spherical or cylindrical spike or head (inflorescence ). Each flower grows from the axil of a leathery bract . The fruit is a nonfleshy, dehiscent capsule . In Xyris complanata , a single flower bud on the spike appears in the morning, and expands into a conspicuous flower during the afternoon hours.[3 ]
The APG IV system , of 2016, places the genus in family Xyridaceae , into the order Poales in the clade commelinids , in the monocots .
