Hello.

I live in arid place, somewhere in Europe, where i have found phalaris arundinacea, aquatica, minor, paradoxa, canariensis, and peganum harmala is a native specie.

I cant find P. brachystachis because this specie grows in southern places of my country, where it is a weed of wheat crops.

I like so much botany, and I can distinguish Arundo donax from Arundo plinii, a poor known specie that I havent found any report of it about spice.

I can distingish Phragmites australis "chrysanthus" from P.A. "australis", two subspecies that perhaps they contains a so different chemical profiles.

I would like to get seeds of "peganum mexicanum" for growing, a cousin of peganum harmala, and native of South center of USA, and i think it would contain and interesting chemical profile.

Welcome,

You seem like you are on the right track. Do you have any questions? I wish I Was more familiar with p. mexicanum. Let us know how it goes!

hello ۩.

I am interesting in aya analogues, and quick analisis (marquis reagent?) from material plants to know spice presence. I am reading a lot of good stuff here about it.

Someone from Texas who likes search plants?.

..welcome caracas..you've got some great knowledge , such as: ..this is great, and the first time i've heard this discussed..lumping such a world-wide distributed plant as just one species seemed dubious to me..this could be a step-forawrd in Phragmites research..thanks..
..looking forward to your future contributions..
