• Arundo donax — The scientific name for the giant reed (or Spanish cane), an invasive perennial grass species of the genus Arundo, native to Asia but naturalized in the Mediterranean basin and other warm regions. The plant reaches heights of up to 6-10 meters, with very thick stems used industrially to manufacture reeds for woodwind musical instruments (clarinet, saxophone, bassoon), in eco-construction, and as a major source of renewable energy.
