Wildcane or Wild Cane, Gynerium sagittatum, Arundineae, Arundinoideae, Poaceae. Arenal Volcano National Park, Costa Rica. Tall wild grasses found along the walkway in the low forest. It is known in English as "wildcane" or "wild cane", while "arrow cane" is less common (sagitta is Latin for arrow). Being one of the first plants to colonise open areas, G. sagittatum is an important pioneer species that reaches new sites via wind-distributed seeds.
