Triglochin striata
Triglochin striata
Triglochin striata, or Streaked Arrowgrass, is a low-growing, perennial aquatic herb native to Australia, often found in wetlands, saltmarshes, and along the edges of watercourses. Growing up to 30 cm tall, it features slender, grass-like green leaves and small, greenish flower spikes arranged in vertical rows, blooming primarily in spring and summer. Its fine foliage adds a soft, natural texture to wetland environments.
This species thrives in waterlogged to saline soils and tolerates full sun to partial shade, making it a valuable plant for wetland rehabilitation, riparian restoration, and coastal stabilization. Streaked Arrowgrass plays a role in stabilizing soils, filtering sediments, and supporting biodiversity by providing habitat for insects and small wetland fauna.
With its delicate structure, adaptability to saline and wet environments, and ecological contributions, Triglochin striata is an excellent choice for sustainable landscaping, habitat creation, and wetland restoration projects.
