The Fuquene rush is a perennial herbaceous plant that grows mainly in wet environments such as marshes and pond edges. Its cylindrical, smooth, unbranched stems reach a height of 40 cm to 1.2 meters, and are often grouped in dense clumps.

In addition to its aesthetic qualities, this plant plays an important ecological role, contributing to the stabilization of banks and the filtration of water. The Fuquene reed is particularly prized in crafts for its flexibility and strength, making it ideal for making baskets, mats, and other decorative objects. Its stems, once harvested and dried, are carefully manipulated to create handcrafted pieces that combine functionality and aesthetics.

Its popularity in the field of interior decoration makes it a prized material for craftsmen.
