Comentarios generales:

The tuber of this plant is edible and very crisp; it adds texture to salads. The tuber has a segmented appearance reminiscent of a rattlesnake tail. This plant can be mowed and used in a "freedom lawn" but be aware that it spreads. The plant was considered to be a Florida endemic but began to spread in the 1940s and 1950s. It is known as an aggressive weed in most areas outside of Florida.
