Spartina

Spartina, commonly known as cordgrass or cord-grass, is a genus of 14 species of grasses in the family Poaceae. The genus name is derived from σπαρτίνη, the Greek word for a cord made from Spanish broom.

The highest species diversity is on the east coasts of North America and South America, particularly Florida. They form large, often dense colonies, particularly on coastal salt marshes, and grow quickly. The species vary in size from 0.3–2 m tall. Many of the species will produce hybrids if they come into contact.
