| 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 waterribbons. The smaller,
semi-terrestrial species (T. minutissima, T. mucronata,
T. nanum and T. striatum) are called
arrowgrasses. |
