Typha is a genus of about 30 species of monocotyledonous flowering plants in the family Typhaceae. These plants have a variety of common names, in British English as bulrush, or reedmace, in American English as reed, cattail, or punks, in Australia as cumbungi or bulrush, in Canada as bulrush or cattail, and in New Zealand as raupō. Other taxa of plants may be known as bulrush, including some sedges in Scirpus and related genera.
Prosopis is a genus of flowering plants in the pea family, Fabaceae. It contains around 45 species of spiny trees and shrubs found in subtropical and tropical regions of the Americas, Africa, Western Asia, and South Asia. They often thrive in arid soil and are resistant to drought, on occasion developing extremely deep root systems. Their wood is usually hard, dense and durable. Their fruits are pods and may contain large amounts of sugar. The generic name means "burdock" in late Latin and originated in the Greek language.
Typha latifolia is a perennial herbaceous plant in the genus Typha. It is found as a native plant species in North and South America, Europe, Eurasia, and Africa. In Canada, broadleaf cattail occurs in all provinces and also in the Yukon and Northwest Territories, and in the United States, it is native to all states except Hawaii. It is an introduced and invasive species, and is considered a noxious weed, in Australia and Hawaii. It has been reported in Indonesia, Malaysia, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea, and the Philippines.
Typha angustifolia L. is a perennial herbaceous plant of genus Typha. This cattail is an "obligate wetland" species that is commonly found in the northern hemisphere in brackish locations. The plant's leaves are flat, very narrow, and 3'-6' tall when mature; 12-16 leaves arise from each vegetative shoot. At maturity, they have distinctive stalks that are about as tall as the leaves; the stalks are topped with brown, fluffy, sausage-shaped flowering heads. The plants have sturdy, rhizomatous roots that can extend 27" and are typically ¾"-1½" in diameter.
Typha domingensis, known commonly as southern cattail or cumbungi, is a perennial herbaceous plant of the genus Typha.
The Forrestdale and Thomsons Lakes Ramsar Site comprises two separate nature reserves, totaling 754 ha in area, protecting two shallow fresh to brackish, seasonal lakes in a suburban and agricultural landscape in south-western Western Australia. It is used mainly for birdwatching and walking. It lies in the Swan Coastal Plain bioregion. The site is recognised as being of international importance under the Ramsar Convention on Wetlands, under which it was designated Ramsar Site 481 on 7 June 1990.
Gibbovalva tricuneatella is a moth of the family Gracillariidae. It is known from the states of New South Wales and Queensland in Australia and the Ryukyu Islands of Japan.
Typha minima, common name dwarf bulrush or miniature cattail or least bulrush, is a perennial herbaceous plant belonging to the Typhaceae family.
Typha orientalis, commonly known as bulrush, bullrush, cumbungi in Australia, or raupō in New Zealand, is a perennial herbaceous plant in the genus Typha. It can be found in Australia, New Zealand including the Chatham Islands and the Kermadec Islands), Malaysia, Indonesia, Japan, Korea, Mongolia, Myanmar, Philippines, China and the Russian Far East.
Bulrushes is the vernacular name for several large wetland grass-like plants in the sedge family (Cyperaceae).
Typha laxmannii, common name graceful cattail, is a wetland plant species widespread across Europe and Asia. Typha laxmannii is not as tall as many of the other species in the genus, rarely more than 130 cm high. A noticeable space separates the staminate (male) flowers from the pistillate (female) ones.
Typha capensis is an aquatic plant known from southern and eastern Africa as far north as Uganda. It has also been reported from Brazil.
Typha shuttleworthii is a species of cattail found in southern Europe as well as in Iran and Turkey.
Typha davidiana is a plant species native to China. It grows in freshwater marshes and on the banks of lakes and streams.
Typha przewalskii is a plant species native to the Manchuria Region of northeastern China and also to the Primorye region in the Russian Far East. The plant grows in freshwater marshes and along the banks of lakes and streams.
Typha × provincialis is a plant of hybrid origin, endemic to southern France. Type collection was obtained from near St. Tropez in Provence. It apparently originated as a cross between the two very widespread species T. domingensis and T. latifolia.Typha × provincialis grows in freshwater marshes.
Typha × bavarica is a plant of hybrid origin, endemic to southern Germany. It apparently originated as a cross between the two very widespread species T. angustifolia and T. shuttleworthii.Typha × bavarica grows in freshwater marshes.
Typha × argoviensis is a plant of hybrid origin, native to Switzerland and Germany. It apparently originated as a cross between the two very widespread species T. latifolia and T. shuttleworthii.Typha × argoviensis grows in freshwater marshes.
Typha × smirnovii is a plant of hybrid origin, endemic to southern Russia. Initial collections were made in 1998 in the vicinity of Volgograd. The plant apparently originated as a cross between the two very widespread species T. latifolia and T. laxmannii.Typha × smirnovii grows in freshwater marshes.
Typha × gezei is a plant of hybrid origin, endemic to France. It apparently originated as a cross between the two very widespread species T. domingensis and T. angustifolia.Typha × gezei grows in freshwater marshes.
