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 ]
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 ...
The Southern Cattail grows between 2.0 and 2.5 meters in length and has flat sheaths to protect its core. It thrives in marshes and ecosystems where the land has a similarity to wetlands. It can also survive in high salinity water sources, making it much more resilient than similar species to this kind of cattail.
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 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.
Typha laxmannii, the graceful cattail, [3] is a wetland plant species, widespread across Europe and Asia. [4] [5] 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. [4]
