Sisyrinchium
''Sisyrinchium'' is a large genus of annual to perennial flowering plants in the family Iridaceae. Native to the New World, the species are known as blue-eyed grasses. Although they are not true grasses (Poaceae), they are monocots. Several species in the eastern United States are threatened or endangered. This may be due to niche species emerging from their unique tendency toward rapid speciation which helps them adapt to specialized arenic (sandy) habitats. Description These are not true grasses, but many species have the general appearance of grasses, as they are low-growing plants with long, thin leaves. They often grow on grasslands. Many species resemble irises, to which they are more closely related. Most species grow as perennial plants, from a rhizome, though some are short-lived (e.g. '' Sisyrinchium striatum)'', and some are annuals (e.g. '' Sisyrinchium iridifolium''). The flowers are relatively simple and often grow in clusters. Many species, particularly ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
