What is another word for alligator grass?
Pronunciation: [ˈalɪɡˌe͡ɪtə ɡɹˈas] (IPA) 
Alligator grass, also known as Paspalum Distichum, is a type of grass commonly found in wetlands and marshy areas. The grass gets its name from its ability to grow in water and withstand frequent flooding, much like an alligator. While it's commonly referred to as alligator grass, it also goes by other names such as water couchgrass, salt grass, and two-rowed paspalum. Some people also refer to it as broadleaf carpet grass due to its ability to spread out horizontally, forming a thick, carpet-like layer. Regardless of its name, alligator grass is an essential part of the ecosystem in wetland areas and provides habitat and food for many species of animals.
