|discussion=<p>This taxon has been separated into <i>Triglochin</i> concinna and <i>T. maritima</i> based upon the lobing of the ligule and the smaller size of the plants of the former (e.g., J. L. Reveal 1977; R. F. Thorne 1993). On a local basis such a separation seems warranted. Examination of the <i>T. maritima</i> complex throughout the Americas, however, reveals continuous variation from small, widely spaced plants with 2-lobed ligules to large, tufted plants with unlobed ligules, including plants with all combinations of those characters.</p><!--
--><p><i>Triglochin maritima</i> is important in livestock management because it is quite toxic: it is a cyanide producer.</p>
