Dissochondrus, or false bristlegrass, is a genus of Hawaiian plants in the grass family. The only known species is Dissochondrus biflorus.
==Taxonomy== The species Dissochondrus biflorus was first described in 1888 by William Hillebrand as Setaria biflora. Hillebrand placed it in a new subgenus of Setaria, S. subg. Dissochondrus. In 1897, Otto Kuntze elevated the subgenus to the full genus Dissochondrus with the sole species becoming Dissochondrus biflorus.
