Name: Saw grass (cladium jamaicense cranstz) cyperaceae
Location found: Big Branch
Habitat: fresh and intermediate.
This plant was very abundant back in the 1950's, but with the intrusion of salt water and the introduction of the nutria this plant has been on the decline. Yet as of the mid-1970's saw grass has made some what of a comeback. Also the plant gets its name from its sharp serrated leaves.
