Triglochin barrelieri is a species of plant that belongs to the Juncaginaceae family, usually referred to as the arrowgrass family.[1]
Description
[edit]Bulbous arrow grass is another name for Triglochin barrelieri. 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. (Origin: Greek) A highly uncommon herb has been discovered in the Maltese Islands. It blooms between March and April. 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]
Habitat
[edit]Water pools on karst limestone, such as those seen on garigue and valley sides, are Malta's preferred habitat. Native to the Maltese Islands, and existed before humans.[2]

Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
