Schoenoplectus Schoofii

Schoenoplectus schoofii is a unique wetland plant native to specific regions of southern Africa. It belongs to the Cyperaceae family, commonly known as the sedge family. This species is characterized by its tall, slender stems and dense clusters of small, spike-like flowers. It thrives in shallow water or moist soil, often found in marshes and along the edges of lakes. Due to its limited distribution and ecological significance, it is considered a valuable indicator of healthy wetland ecosystems.
