thumb|Spikelet of Dimeria raizadae, an endemic species of Kerala, India thumb|Dimeria santapaui M.R. Almeida Dimeria is a genus of Asian, Australian, Madagascan, and Pacific Island plants in the grass family, mostly distributed in Peninsular India
The genus is characterised by its tough raceme rachis bearing strongly compressed single spikelets. It is believed that peninsular India, which has 42 taxa (including 7 infra-specific taxa) and 23 endemic species, is the centre of its distribution.
