The nets, made by chewing the roots of Bulrush ( Typha shuttleworthii ) until only the fibre remained which was spun into threads by the women to be then woven into nets by the men, were " considered to be a sort of fortune to its owner.

It has been determined from phylogenetic analysis to be the closest living relative of the genus Typha ( cat-tail ).

By the APG III system of 2009, Sparganium had been found to be fairly closely related to Typha, and so was placed with that genus in family Typhaceae.

Typha is often among the first wetland plants to colonize areas of newly exposed wet mud, with its abundant wind dispersed seeds.

They are typically filled with either kapok ( a fluffy plant fibre, similar to Typha ) or buckwheat hulls.

According to Queensland Department of Natural Resources and Mines ( 2003 ) the modern name is derived from the aboriginal " Yekkabin " which referred to aquatic plants ( possibly Typha angustifolia or Blechnum indicum ) with edible roots which grew in the creek.

T. latifolia shares its range with other related species, and hybridizes with Typha angustifolia, narrow-leaf cattail, to form Typha × glauca ( Typha angustifolia × T. latifolia ), white cattail.

It fills a similar niche to that of Typha and often grows with it, though usually in shallower water.

Most European reed beds are composed mainly of the large wetland grass common reed ( Phragmites australis ), but also include many other tall monocotyledons adapted to growing in wet conditions – other grasses such as reed sweet-grass ( Glyceria maxima ), Canary reed-grass ( Phalaris arundinacea ) and small-reed ( Calamagrostis species ), large sedges ( species of Carex, Scirpus, Schoenoplectus, Cladium and related genera ), yellow flag iris ( Iris pseudacorus ), reed-mace (" bulrush " – Typha species ), water-plantains ( Alisma species ), and flowering rush ( Butomus umbellatus ).

Traditionally, Typha latifolia has been a part of many native North American cultures, as a source of food, medicine, and for other uses.

In New South Wales the leaf of reedmace ( genus Typha ) is the most important food of birds in wetlands, followed by submerged algae and aquatic plants like Vallisneria.

Typha () is a genus of about eleven species of monocotyledonous flowering plants in the family Typhaceae.

Typha plants are monoecious and bear unisexual, wind-pollinated flowers, developing in dense spikes.

Starch grains have been found on grinding stones widely across Europe from 30, 000 BC suggesting that Typha plants were a widely used Upper Paleolithic food.

plants such as Arundo donax ( giant reed ), Cyperus papyrus ( papyrus ), Phragmites ( reed ) and Typha ( cattail, bulrush ).

Many fast-growing plants rooted in the soils of wetlands such as Typha ( cattail ) and Phragmites ( reed ) also aid in the role of heavy metal up-take.

The family then consisted of one genus ( Typha ), totalling a dozen species of perennial plants of wet habitats.

* Reed-mace ( Typha species ), also called bulrush or cattail

Note that the name bulrush is also applied to species in the unrelated genus Typha.

Nesting sites selected are usually either islands in large bodies of water ( typically lagoons or river deltas ) or dense mats of aquatic vegetation, such as extensive reedbeds of Phragmites and Typha.

In northeastern Missouri in spring, the likelihood of detecting sora in robust emergents, such as cattail ( Typha spp.

The freshwater swamps at the mouth of the Kulfo River and in Lake Chamo are dominated by Typha angustifolia, tall waterside grasses and the small leguminous trees, such as Aeschynomene elaphroxylon and Sesbania sesban.

The shores of the Sea of Azov contain numerous limans, estuaries and marshes and are dominated by reeds, sedges, Typha and Sparganium.

Typha leaves are alternate and mostly basal to a simple, jointless stem that eventually bears the flowering spikes.

There are four herbaceous vegetation types, named for the dominant plant species in them: Scirpus, Eleocharis, Sparganium and Typha.

There were groups of Bulrushes ( g. Typha, Scirpus lacustris, Scirpus maritimus ) and Rush ( g. Juncus ) in the least deep areas.

Typical wetland plant genera include Typha, Scirpus, Heleocharis, and Cyperus.

The dominant species of aquatic vegetation are Potamogeton illionoensis, Scirpus pectinatus, tule ( Typha latifolia ), T. dominguensis, and Nymphaea mexicana.

Examples include cattails ( Typha ) and arrow arum ( Peltandra virginica ).

Old peat workings and rhynes have a wetland community which includes Bulrush ( Typha latifolia ), Yellow Flag Iris ( pseudacorus ), Cyperus-like Sedge ( Carex pseudocyperus ) and Lesser Bur-reed ( Sparganium natans ).

Originally, poi were most commonly made from harakeke ( Phormium tenax ) and raupō ( Typha orientalis ).

Curt's visit to the livery stable had been merely a precaution in case anyone should be watching.

I felt that he looked at me coldly and appraisingly and seemed to be uncertain what his attitude towards me should be, but he did not say one word which might indicate that he had been told of advances to his wife.

Ratified in the Republican Party victory in 1952, the Positive State is now evidenced by political campaigns being waged not on whether but on how much social legislation there should be.

Recognizing that the Rule of Law is `` a dynamic concept which should be employed not only to safeguard the civil and political rights of the individual in a free society '', the Congress asserted that it also included the responsibility `` to establish social, economic, educational and cultural conditions under which his legitimate aspirations and dignity may be realized ''.

But much of the land which the aborigine wanders looks as if it should be hospitable.

As John T. Westbrook says in his article, `` Twilight Of Southern Regionalism '' ( Southwest Review, Winter 1957 ): `` The miasmal mausoleum where an Old South, already too minutely autopsied in prose and poetry, should be left to rest in peace, forever dead and ( let us fervently hope ) forever done with ''.

He says: `` beside the Protestant philosophy of Progress, as expressed in radical or conservative millenarianism, should be placed the doctrine of the democratic faith which affirmed it to be the duty of the destiny of the United States to assist in the creation of a better world by keeping lighted the beacon of democracy ''.

Ideally speaking, it should be allowed to operate only where the public has a great stake in the continuity of supply or services, and where the actions of a single proprietor are secondary to the needs of society.

In all other areas, private initiative of the `` proprietorship '' type should be urged to produce the desired goods and services.

Corporations should pay added taxes, to be used for educational purposes ( not necessarily of the formal type ).

The right to leave legacies should be substantially reduced and ultimately eliminated.

Strikes should be declared illegal against corporations because disagreements would have to be settled by government representatives acting as controllers of the corporation whose responsibility to the state would now be defined against proprietorship because employees and proprietors must be completely interdependent, as they are each a part of the whole.
