Zea luxurians, also referred to by the common names Maíz de Monte, Florida teosinte and Guatemalan teosinte, is a species of annual flowering plant in the family Poaceae. It is a true grass and a teosinte.

Distribution

It is native to Guatemala, Honduras and Mexico, but it can also be found in areas where it has been introduced, including Brazil, Colombia, and French Guiana.

Genome

Tenaillon et al., 2011 obtain genome size estimates and transposable element (TE) content by high-throughput sequencing. They find ~50% difference in size and that divergence from maize (Z. mays) is largely due to different % of TE content. Ratios between TE families are highly conserved between Z. luxurians and Z. mays.
