Sugarcane
Sugarcane or sugar cane is a species of tall, perennial grass that is used for sugar production. The plants are 2–7 m tall with stout, jointed, fibrous stalks that are rich in sucrose, which accumulates in the stalk internodes. Sugarcanes belong to the grass family, Poaceae, an economically important flowering plant family that includes maize, wheat, rice, and sorghum, and many forage crops. It is native to New Guinea.
