Latin Name:  Triglochin procera
Family:  Juncaginaceae
Author:  R.Br.

Known Hazards:  The green leaves of plants can contain a toxic cyanogenic glucoside, it is especially present during and just after a drought and is particularly toxic to ruminants[76, 85]. Plants growing in Britain are usually perfectly safe, this is probably due to the climate[76].

Mature Height:  0.6   Mature Width:

Habitat:  Lakes, swamps and streams[154].

Cultivation Notes: We have very little information on this species and do not know if it will be hardy outdoors in Britain. However, it is hardy to about -7°c in Australian gardens[157], though this cannot be applied directly to British gardens due to our cooler summers and longer, colder, wetter winters[K]. The following notes are based on the general needs of the genus. Succeeds in shallow water or a bog garden[200]. Possibly requires saline conditions[K]. 193
