Phragmites is a genus of species of large perennial grasses found in wetlands throughout temperate and tropical regions of the world. The cosmopolitan common reed has the generally accepted botanical name Phragmites australis and is very important (together with other reed-like plants) for wildlife and conservation, particularly in Europe and Asia, where several species of birds are strongly tied to large Phragmites stands.
