Chimaerochloa is a genus of New Guinean plants in the grass family.
The genus name of Chimaerochloa is named after Chimera (mythology) as Linder noted; "the grass takes an the appearance of different genera, depending on which character set is investigated. Thus, it can be regarded as a grass that changes its appearance, a chimaera".
The genus was circumscribed by Hans Peter Linder in Ann. Missouri Bot. Gard. Vol.97 (Issue 3) on page 346 in 2010.
