Cultivation

Succeeds in temperate to tropical areas, usually near the coast and always in areas where the soil is salty. It occurs in the rice-paddies of the Senegal River at Richard Toll, not particularly as a weed, but its presence in increasing or decreasing amount is an indication of the brackishness of the water.
