Typha angustifolia grows 1.5–2 metres (4 ft 11 in – 6 ft 7 in) high (rarely to 3 m) and has slender leaves 3–12 mm (0.12–0.47 in) broad, obviously slenderer than in the related Typha latifolia; ten or fewer leaves arise from each vegetative shoot. The leaves are deciduous, appearing in spring and dying down in the autumn.
Typha x glauca is an invasive hybrid species that originates as a cross between parent species, Typha angustifolia and Typha latifolia. T. latifolia is a broad-leaved cattail and T. angustifolia is a narrow-leaved cattail. [2] The structure of Typha x glauca is an intermediate of its two parent species. It is an erect and emergent wetland plant ...

Typha minima is a light-loving plant and cannot tolerate shade. It grows on periodically flooded banks of slow flowing, cool and pure waters, along lake margins, in marshes, ponds and swamps, at an altitude of 0–1,000 metres (0–3,281 ft) above sea level.
Recently it was found that Typha domingensis is very effective at reducing bacterial contamination of water for agricultural use. This plant helps to reduce, up to 98 percent, pollution by enterobacteria (usually found in the intestines of mammals) involved in the development of disease.
Typha latifolia is a perennial herbaceous wetland plant in the genus Typha. It is known in English as bulrush [ 4 ] [ 5 ] (sometimes as common bulrush [ 6 ] to distinguish from other species of Typha ), and in American as broadleaf cattail. [ 7 ]
