'''''Coelorachis''''' is a [[genus]] of plants in the [[Poaceae|grass family]], widespread across much of [[Asia]], [[Africa]], [[Australia]] and the [[Americas]].<ref>Brongniart, Adolphe Théodore. 1831.

''Coelorhachis'' is treated by some sources as part of the genus ''[[Mnesithea]]'', so the following species can generally be found under that name in those listings.<ref>[http://www.efloras.org/florataxon.aspx?flora_id=2&taxon_id=120873 Flora of China Vol. 22 Page 642 <big>毛俭草属</big> mao jian cao shu  ''Mnesithea'' Kunth, Révis.
