Paspalum Distichum Var. Vaginatum

Vaginal paspalum, scientifically known as Paspalum distichum var. vaginatum, is a unique grass species native to tropical and subtropical regions. It is characterized by its distinctive leaf sheaths that enclose the stems, giving it a striking appearance. This plant thrives in wetland environments and is often found in marshes and along waterways. Its adaptability to moist conditions makes it an important component of aquatic ecosystems. Despite its ecological significance, it remains relatively understudied compared to other grass species.
