Oryza australiensis is a wild rice species native to monsoonal northern Australia. Also known as Australian rice or Australian Wild Rice, it is a perennial plant that uses the C3 photosynthesis pathway. O. australiensis is unique among other Oryza for its resistance to abiotic stresses, particularly from heat, and having the largest genome in the genus.
