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] It is found as a native plant species throughout most of Eurasia and North America, and more locally in Africa and South America. The genome of T. latifolia was published in 2022. [8]

This plant requires an underwater base in order to survive in that habitat, which is the factor that all these habitats have in common. By using its invasion tactics, the cattail hybrid is able to quickly spread and displace other species of plants. They are an ecological threat to native species like the Typha latifolia. [10]
Argyroxiphium sandwicense subsp. sandwicense, the Mauna Kea silversword, [1] is a highly endangered flowering plant endemic to the island of Hawaiʻi (Big Island) of Hawaii. It is the "crown jewel" [2] of the volcanic mountain Mauna Kea, from which it derives its English name. The Hawaiian name is ʻahinahina; it applies to silverswords more ...
This category includes native flora taxa. Taxa of the lowest rank are always included. Higher taxa are included only if endemic. For the purposes of this category, "Hawaii" is defined in accordance with the World Geographical Scheme for Recording Plant Distributions (WGSRPD), and is constituted by the following archipelagos and islands ...
Like most sandalwoods, Santalum haleakalae is a hemiparasite, deriving some of its nutrition from the roots of surrounding plants, and Santalum haleakalae var. lanaiense is thought to use koa as a host (among other native trees). [4] Their flowers provide nectar for native Hawaiian honeycreepers like the Maui ʻamakihi. [7]
Its small needle-like leaves are whitish underneath, dark green above. The round berries range in color from white through shades of pink to red.

It is a small gray-barked tree, reaching on average a height of 6–10 metres (20–33 ft) [4] and an average trunk diameter of 0.3 m (0.98 ft). [5] Around 1/8 inches long, the fuzzy brown seeds of the hibiscus waimeae plant are enclosed in protective oblong pods.
