Ischaemum rugosum, also known as saramollagrass, is a flowering plant belonging to the grass family Poaceae in the genus Ischaemum, and is native to tropical and temperate regions of Asia, growing in marshes and other wet habitats.[1] It is a vigorous annual, and is an invasive species in South America and Madagascar.[2] It reaches heights of up to 1 m and is primarily recognized by the ridged surface of its sessile spikelet’s lower glume.[3] Despite its historic importance as fodder in Asia, the grass has become a major weed in mid-latitude rice paddies throughout Asia and South America.[4]
