Description[edit]

Tri-, which means three, and -glochis, which means pointed, are the origins of the name Triglochin, which alludes to the pointy ends of the fruiting ovary.

Its blossoms are reported to be unnoticeable and not highly poisonous to other environmental organisms.[2] Rizomatous is a perennial herb with one or more stems and all the leaves at the base, as well as a large, bulbous rhizome surrounded by dark fibers (scapes). It easily escapes up to 40 (-55) cm. [3]
