Monocots are grass and grass-like flowering plants (angiosperms), the seeds of which typically contain only one embryonic leaf or cotyledon. [12] Terrestrial plants evolved perhaps as early as 450 million years ago from a group of green algae. [13] Seagrasses then evolved from terrestrial plants which migrated back into the ocean.
Seagrasses are marine (saltwater) plants found in shallow coastal waters and in the brackish waters of estuaries. Seagrasses are flowering plants with stems and long green, grass-like leaves. They produce seeds and pollen and have roots and rhizomes which anchor them in seafloor sand.
Cenchrus purpureus (or napier grass) is a monocot C4 perennial grass in the family Poaceae. [4] It is tall and forms in robust bamboo-like clumps. [2] It is a heterozygous plant, but seeds rarely fully form; more often it reproduces vegetatively through stolons which are horizontal shoots above the soil that extend from the parent plant to ...
The papyrus plant is relatively easy to grow from seed, though in Egypt, it is more common to split the rootstock, [14] and grows quite fast once established. Extremely moist soil or roots sunken in the water is preferred and the plant can flower all year long. [15] Vegetative propagation is the suggested process of creating new plants.
Cladium (fen-sedge, sawgrass or twig-sedge) is a genus of large sedges, with a nearly worldwide distribution in tropical and temperate regions.These are plants characterized by long, narrow (grass-like) leaves having sharp, often serrated (sawtooth-like) margins, and flowering stems 1–3 m tall bearing a much-branched inflorescence.
This grass favours high-salinity waters with low turbidity, such as calm lagoons. It cannot grow in fresh water but some growth is possible at a salinity of 10 parts per thousand. The plant's preferred salinity range is 25 to 38.5 parts per thousand with a temperature range of 20 to 30 °C (68 to 86 °F).
