Description
White Kans Grass Flowers, Saccharum spontaneum wild sugarcane grown in plenty in the road-side. It is a grass native to the Indian Subcontinent. It is a perennial grass, growing up to three meters in height, with spreading rhizomatous roots. In the Terai-Duar savanna and grasslands, a lowland ecoregion at the base of the Himalaya range, Kans grass quickly colonizes exposed silt plains created each year by the retreating monsoon floods, forming almost pure stands on the lowest portions of the floodplain. Kans grasslands are an important habitat for the Indian rhinoceros. Elsewhere, its ability to quickly colonize disturbed soil has allowed it to become an invasive species that takes over croplands and pastureland.
