Reed canary grass

Reed canary grass (Phalaris arundinacea) is an invasive, tall, coarse-looking perennial grass that commonly forms extensive single-species stands along the margins of lakes and streams and in wet open areas. The stems can reach 2 m in height. Leaf blades are blue-green when fresh and straw-colored when dry. The flowers are borne on the stem high above the leaves and are pinkish at full bloom.

Known for its dimethyltryptamine alkaloid content.
