Droopy tasslereed (Staberoha cernua)

Droopy tasslereed

Droopy tasslereed is a slender, grass-like perennial found in wetland habitats. Its distinctiveness lies in its nodding, cylinder-shaped inflorescences, which dangle atop thin, yet sturdy stems. The foliage forms a tussock, with leaves often curled at the edges, helping it conserve moisture. This adaptation reflects its ability to thrive in marshy conditions where it contributes to the ecosystem's diversity.
