Vertiver is mentioned in one answer above, they must be an indigenous species that will survive the environmental and agronomical conditions of the location of the wetland, look at alternating beds, with other species with an affinity for metabolizing P in their roots.

I suppose vetiver is native in that area that's why they are using it. But again, I dont expect any significant effect on P removal in the long run. If you really want to see an effect, then longer retention times are needed, which is not cost-effective.
