A genus of grasses, commonly known as manna grass or sweet grass, found in wetland environments worldwide.
From Greek glykeros ('sweet'), named for the sweet taste of the grain. The botanical genus was formally established in the early 1800s.
Glyceria grass is called 'manna grass' because its seeds were actually eaten as food in medieval Europe—it's nature's built-in granola.
