"Phalaris aquatica", syn. "P. tuberosa", also known as Harding Grass, lucid, or bulbous canarygrass, is a species of grass in the genus "Phalaris".

Varieties include: AQ1, Uneta, and Australis.

It is an erect, waist-high, stout perennial grass with grayish to bluish green leaves. Flowering heads are dense, spike-like, and usually two to five inches long. It is slow to develop from seed, but can form large bunches after several years. [ [http://ucce.ucdavis.edu/datastore/detailreport.cfm?usernumber=67&surveynumber=182 ucce.ucdavis.edu] ]

"Phalaris arundinacea" differs from Harding grass in having more distinct rhizomes and an inflorescence that is compact at first but later becomes more open as the branches spread. Hybrids of Harding grass and reed canary grass have been produced.

Some "Phalaris" species contain gramine, which can cause brain damage, other organ damage, central nervous system damage and death in sheep. [cite web
