What is another word for spike rush?
Pronunciation: [spˈa͡ɪk ɹˈʌʃ] (IPA) 
Spike rush, also known as Eleocharis, is a type of grass-like plant that typically grows in wetlands and marshy areas. While spike rush is its most commonly used name, there are several synonyms for this plant, including needle spike rush, dwarf spike rush, and hair spike rush. Needle spike rush, as the name suggests, has protruding needle-like structures on its stem and is commonly found alongside ponds. Dwarf spike rush is a smaller variation of spike rush and is typically found in shallow waters. Hair spike rush, on the other hand, has delicate hair-like structures on its stems and is commonly found in wetlands. Regardless of the name, all species of spike rush are an important component of wetland ecosystems.
