Seagrass - Marine flowering plants

Japanese: 海産顕花植物 - かいさんけんかしょくぶつ(英語表記)sea‐grass
Seagrass - Marine flowering plants
A general term for seed plants that grow in seawater. Taxonomically, they are all classified as monocotyledonous plants in the order Saltwater Plants. It is thought that freshwater plants in this order, such as Hydrocharisaceae, Potamogetonaceae, and Polytrichum communes, evolved to adapt to life in seawater. There are about 100 species in 12 genera around the world, all of which form large colonies on the shallow seafloor near the coast and form seaweed beds together with seaweed. The most representative genera found in temperate zones such as Japan are the Zostera marina and Zostera quinqueradiata.

海水中に生える種子植物の総称。分類学的にはすべてが単子葉植物の沼生目(オモダカ目)の中に含まれる。この目の中のトチカガミ科,ヒルムシロ科,イトクズモ科などの淡水生植物が,海水中での生活に適応するように進化したものと考えられている。世界に12属約100種があり,いずれも海岸に近い浅い海底に大きな群落をつくり,藻場を海藻とともに形成している。日本などの温帯で見られる代表的なものはアマモ属とスガモ属である。
