''Saccharum spontaneum'' (wild sugarcane, Kans grass, (ヒンディー語:काँस ''kām̥s''), (オリヤー語:କାଶତଣ୍ଡି ''kāśataṇḍi''), (アッサム語:কঁহুৱা, খাগৰী ''kahuwa, khagori'')) is a grass native to the Indian Subcontinent. It is a perennial grass, growing up to three meters in height, with spreading rhizomatous roots. 〔http://assamforest.in/publication/wildEdible_plantsAssam.pdf〕 〔http://assamplants.com/Alphabetical%20%20Order%20(Sc%20Name).htm〕 In the Terai-Duar savanna and grasslands, a lowland ecoregion at the base of the Himalaya range in Nepal, India, Bangladesh and Bhutan, kans grass quickly colonises 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 (''Rhinoceros unicornis''). In Nepal, kans grass is harvested to thatch roofs or fence vegetable gardens. Elsewhere, its ability to quickly colonize disturbed soil has allowed it to become an invasive species that takes over croplands and pasturelands. ==Uses== ''Saccharum spontaneum'' has a considerable number of regional names in the Indian Subcontinent, for instance ''kash'' () being common in Bengali/Bangla (). Some of these are given, along with Ayurvedic medical properties.〔(Pankaj Oudhia (2001-3) )〕 〔http://assamplants.com/All%20Species/Saccharum%20spont.htm〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Saccharum spontaneum」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
