'''''Glyceria''''' is a genus of [[Poaceae|grasses]] known commonly as '''mannagrass''' or (in the UK) '''sweet-grass'''. These are perennial [[Rhizome|rhizomatous]] grasses found in wet areas in temperate regions worldwide. The base of the grass grows along the ground and may root at several places. Then it grows erect and bears leaf blades which may be flat or folded. The [[panicle]] inflorescences nod when heavy. Some mannagrasses are considered weeds while others are endangered in their native habitats. {{Inc| Glyceria (Greek, glukeros, sweet). Gramineae. Marsh perennials with open (or rarely contracted) panicles, sometimes grown for ornament. Spikelets few- to many-fld.; lemmas convex, firm, with a scarious margin or apex, usually obtuse, awnless, prominently 5-9-nerved.—Species about 16 in temperate regions of both hemispheres. {{SCH}} }} ==Cultivation== ===Propagation=== ===Pests and diseases=== ==Species== *''[[Glyceria acutiflora]]'' - creeping mannagrass *''[[Glyceria alnasteretum]]'' - Aleutian mannagrass *''[[Glyceria arkansana]]'' - Arkansas mannagrass *''[[Glyceria borealis]]'' - northern mannagrass *''[[Glyceria canadensis]]'' - rattlesnake mannagrass, Canadian mannagrass *''[[Glyceria declinata]]'' - waxy mannagrass, low glyceria, small sweet-grass *''[[Glyceria elata]]'' - tall mannagrass *''[[Glyceria fluitans]]'' - water mannagrass, floating sweet-grass *''[[Glyceria grandis]]'' - American mannagrass *''[[Glyceria laxa]]'' - limp mannagrass *''[[Glyceria leptostachya]]'' - davy mannagrass, narrow mannagrass *''[[Glyceria lithuanica]]'' - Lithuanian mannagrass *''[[Glyceria maxima]]'' - reed mannagrass, English watergrass, reed sweet-grass *''[[Glyceria melicaria]]'' - melic mannagrass *''[[Glyceria notata]]'' - marked glyceria, plicate sweet-grass *''[[Glyceria nubigena]]'' - Great Smoky Mountain mannagrass *''[[Glyceria obtusa]]'' - Atlantic mannagrass *''[[Glyceria occidentalis]]'' - northwestern mannagrass *''[[Glyceria pulchella]]'' - MacKenzie Valley mannagrass, beautiful glyceria *''[[Glyceria septentrionalis]]'' - floating mannagrass *''[[Glyceria striata]]'' - fowl mannagrass, ridged glyceria ==Gallery== <gallery perrow=5> Image:Upload.png| photo 1 Image:Upload.png| photo 2 Image:Upload.png| photo 3 </gallery> ==References== <references/> <!--- xxxxx *Flora: The Gardener's Bible, by Sean Hogan.
