Glyceria notata
Also called Marked Glyceria, Marked Mannagrass, Plicate Mannagrass, Plicate Sweetgrass, Plaited Mannagrass
Plicate sweet-grass is a perennial, semi-aquatic grass that forms tufts in wet ground, shallow water and marshy edges. It grows best with its roots kept moist or submerged, and it can spread aggressively, so check local rules before planting.
Glyceria notata, the plicate sweet-grass or marked glyceria, is a species of semi-aquatic true grass in the tribe Meliceae. It is from the cosmopolitan genus Glyceria (mannagrasses), a genus of tufted, perennial grasses. Its culms are 30–80 cm in height, ascending from a prostrate base, with dark- to bluish-green, flat or folded leaf-blades some 5–30 cm long by 3–14 mm wide.
It is known as invasive in some parts of the world.
