| Tasmania has
seven native species of Triglochin. These are all aquatic or
semi-aquatic, occurring in rivers, pools and estuarine areas
(including saltmarshes). They are typically tufted plants with
more-or-less succulent grass-like leaves, and erect terminal spikes
of small flowers. The larger, fully aquatic species (T. procerum,
T. alcockiae and T. rheophyllum) are called
water-ribbons. The smaller, semi-terrestrial species (T.
minutissima, T. mucronata, T. nanum and T. striatum)
are called arrowgrasses. |
