Pseudoraphis is a genus of grasses commonly known as mudgrasses.[1] They are native to Asia and Australia.[1][2] They grow in open, wet habitat, such as marshes.[1] Some are aquatic, floating plants. A defining characteristic is a long, stiff bristle extending from the tip of each branch of the inflorescence. Pseudoraphis is closely related to the genus Chamaeraphis.[3]
There are about 6[1][2] or 7 species.[3]
Species include:
- Pseudoraphis balansae
- Pseudoraphis brunoniana
- Pseudoraphis minuta
- Pseudoraphis paradoxa
- Pseudoraphis sordia
- Pseudoraphis spinescens - spiny mudgrass
