EDITORS COMMENTS
This herbarium sheet showcases a beautiful specimen of Phragmites australis, commonly known as the common reed, which was collected in Panama. Phragmites is a monocotyledonous flowering plant within the Poaceae family, native to wetlands throughout the Americas, Europe, and parts of Asia. The common reed is a tall, robust plant, growing up to 4 meters in height, with long, slender, triangular stems and dense, feathery leaves. The common reed provides essential habitat and food sources for a diverse range of organisms. Invertebrates, such as crabs (Decapoda), insects (Insecta), and crustaceans (Crustacea), are often found among the dense stands of Phragmites. One such invertebrate is this small crab, likely a member of the Malacostraca order, which can be seen clinging to the stem of the plant. The common reed's importance extends beyond its ecological role, as it is also an Angiospermae, a type of Angiosperm, and a member of the Commelinid order, making it a significant contributor to the biodiversity of wetland ecosystems. This herbarium sheet, collected by Andres de Voys, is a valuable record of the natural history of Phragmites australis in Panama and serves as a reminder of the intricate relationships between plants and the diverse array of organisms that depend on them for survival.
