7. FLORA IN
DAIMIEL TABLES
The fresh water of
the Guadiana favors the growth
of the Common Reed and the
briny water of the Gigüela
favors the growth of the marshy
vegetation, principally the
Great Fen-sedge .
The Great Fen-sedge
abounded extraordinarily, and it
was one of the most extensive
zones in Occidental Europe.
There were groups of Bulrushes
and Rush in the least deep
areas.
Grasslands are one of the most
characteristic formations of the
National Park formed by
different sorts of Chara genus
