高大、茁壯的無葉水生植物物種，可生長至5公尺（16英呎）高，形成似草的綠莖叢，莖由厚實的木質地下莖長出，其橫截面呈三角形，每個莖的頂部為茂密的亮綠細莖叢。此植物可供人類食用，早在西元前三千年的古埃及，便被種植以獲取其柄或莖的部份，將中心木髓削成長條、以直角交錯放置成層並壓聚在一起，再乾燥以形成薄而平滑的書寫表面。此用途隨後流傳至希臘、再傳到羅馬帝國。紙莎草會隨時間而變暗、褪色，紙莎草亦可用來製作船隻、船帆、繩索。此物種在埃及幾乎已經絕跡，但在非洲的其他地方仍是重要的燃料來源，其種植地遍佈整個熱帶地區，在歐洲、亞洲、北美洲地區常被用來作為景觀植物。

莎草紙

英文....

Species of tall, robust, leafless aquatic plant growing to 5 m (16 feet) in height, forming a grass-like clump of green stems, triangular in cross section, that rise up from thick, woody rhizomes. Each stem is topped by a dense cluster of thin, bright green stems. It is edible to humans. It was cultivated in ancient Egypt, collected for its stalk or stem, the central pith of which was cut into thin strips, assembled in layers at right angles, pressed together, and dried to form a smooth, thin writing surface as early as the 3rd millennium BCE. Its use spread to the Greeks and then to the Roman Empire. Papyrus can darken and discolor with age. Other products were boats, sails, and cords. The species is now almost extinct in Egypt, but still of importance elsewhere in Africa as a fuel source. It is cultivated throughout the tropics; popular as an ornamental in Europe, Asia, and North America.
