1, shape characteristics
Zizania latifolia is a perennial aquatic plant of Gramineae. Plant height 1.6-2m, with 5-8 leaves, consisting of leaves and leaf sheaths. There is a triangular leaf pillow at the junction of leaf and leaf sheath, which is called "Zizania latifolia eye".
Leaf sheaths embrace each other layer by layer from the ground, forming pseudostems. Stems are divided into aboveground stems and underground stems. The aboveground stems are short, partly buried in the soil, and most tillers occur on them. Underground stems are stolons that overwinter in the soil. A few buds at the top of them germinate new plants in the next spring, and new plants can produce new tillers.
