Eleocharis Sachalinensis

Sachalin sedge, scientifically known as Eleocharis sachalinensis, is a unique aquatic plant native to the coastal regions of the Russian Far East. It thrives in brackish and freshwater wetlands, often found in estuaries and tidal flats where it plays a vital role in stabilizing soil and supporting local biodiversity. This species is characterized by its slender, grass-like stems and tiny, spike-like inflorescences that bloom in late summer. Despite its modest appearance, Sachalin sedge is an important indicator of ecosystem health in its habitat. Its presence or absence can signal changes in water quality and environmental conditions.
