American Beachgrass
Posted March 30, 2009 by Andrew
Botanical Latin stuck in my head of the day:
Ammophila breviligulata, or American beachgrass.
What a simple, excellent grass this is for those with beachfront property. It’s native. It’s used in dune stabilization. It’s at once evocative of those long, sun-soaked childhood days at the beach. Its subtle, constant movement, along with that of wind and wave, is part of why the beach is so soothing; that, of course, is why man has been drawn to the shore since time immemorial. The beach just wouldn’t be the beach without beachgrass.
