Phyllospadix
Also called Surf Grass, Seagrass, Surfgrasses
Surfgrass (Phyllospadix) is a genus of marine seagrasses that grow in the surf zone along temperate North Pacific coasts, anchored to rocks and sand in wave-swept water. It is not grown as a garden or houseplant, so care refers to its natural habitat.
Phyllospadix, commonly known as surfgrass, is a genus of seagrass, a flowering plant in the family Zosteraceae, described as a genus in 1840. Phyllospadix grows in marine waters along the coasts of the temperate North Pacific.
It is one of the seagrass genera that can perform completely submerged pollination.
