Talk:Sorghum (genus)

Native to Australia?
This paragraph: "Distribution and habitat

Seventeen of the 25 species are native to Australia, with the range of some extending to Africa, Asia, Mesoamerica, and certain islands in the Indian and Pacific Oceans."

conflicts with this: "Sorghum was domesticated from its wild ancestor more than 5,000 years ago in what is today Sudan."

Maybe the word 'native' should be some other word? It seems Sudan is really the origin. Or maybe I don't understand something. OsamaBinLogin (talk) 09:18, 27 November 2023 (UTC)


 * Ah, you're quite right. The article had conflated Sorghum-the-major-crop-plant with Sorghum-the-genus-of-wild-species. I've separated the two, so this article now only covers the genus, and Sorghum now only covers the crop plant. Chiswick Chap (talk) 09:00, 7 May 2024 (UTC)
