'''''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.

Glyceria is a genus of grasses known commonly as mannagrass or (in the UK) sweet-grass. These are perennial 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.


Read about Glyceria in the Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture

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. CH
