Fuirena ecklonii

Fuirena ecklonii is a tropical wetland grass characterized by its stiff, upright growth habit and slender, reed-like stems. Adorned with small, wispy, brownish spikelets, this plant thrives in marshy conditions, its roots often submerged. Its ability to prosper in standing water suggests unique adaptations, such as aerenchyma, for oxygen transport, supporting survival in low-oxygen environments.
