Job's tears - Coix Lacryma-jobi
Job's tears (US) or Job's-tears (UK), scientific name Coix
lacryma-jobi, also known as coixseed, tear grass, hato mugi, adlay or adlai, is a tall
grain-bearing perennial tropical plant of the family Poaceae (grass family) native to Southeast Asia but elsewhere cultivated in gardens as an
annual. It has been naturalized in the southern United States and the New World
tropics. In its native environment it is grown in higher areas where rice and corn do not grow
well. Job's tears are also commonly sold as Chinese pearl barley in Asian
supermarkets, although C. lacryma-jobi is not closely related to barley (Hordeum
vulgare).
