Typha × Glauca
''Typha'' × ''glauca'' is a hybrid species of plant originating as a cross between '' T. angustifolia'' and '' T. latifolia.'' It shows invasive behavior in the Midwestern United States ''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. The structure of ''Typha x glauca'' is an intermediate of its two parent species. It is an erect and emergent wetland plant that typically has an underwater base. Its habitat consists of wetlands, lakeshores, river backwaters, roadside ditches, disturbed wet areas, consistently damp patches of yards, areas with wet soil, and nutrient rich or slightly saline soils. Identification of this species can be difficult as it is a hybrid species and may be confused with its parent species. These cattails are typically between four and twelve inches. Its leaves origi ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Dominique Alexandre Godron
Dominique Alexandre Godron (; 25 March 1807 - 16 August 1880) was a French physician, botanist, geologist and speleologist born in the town of Hayange, in the ''département'' Moselle. Godron studied medicine at the University of Strasbourg, and during his career distinguished himself in natural sciences as well as in the field of medicine. In 1854 he became dean and professor of natural history to the Faculty of Sciences at Nancy. Here he established a natural history museum and reorganized its botanical garden (now the '' Jardin Dominique Alexandre Godron'', renamed in his honor). Among his numerous writings were a publication on the flora of the Lorraine region of France called "''Flore de Lorraine''" (1843), and the three-volume "''Flore de France''", a work on flora native to France and Corsica that was co-written with botanist Jean Charles Marie Grenier (1808-1875). In addition to his botanical works, he published a number of studies in the field of ethnology. Godron issu ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Typha Angustifolia
''Typha angustifolia'' is a perennial herbaceous plant in the genus ''Typha'', native throughout most of Eurasia and locally in northwest Africa; it also occurs widely in North America, where its native status is disputed. It is an "obligate wetland" species that is found in fresh water or brackish locations. It is known in English as lesser bulrush,Streeter D, Hart-Davies C, Hardcastle A, Cole F, Harper L. 2009. ''Collins Flower Guide''. Harper Collins and in American as narrowleaf cattail. Description ''Typha angustifolia'' grows high (rarely to 3 m) and has slender leaves 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.Blamey, M. & Grey-Wilson, C. (1989). ''Flora of Britain and Northern Europe''. The flowering stem is tall, distinctly shorter than the leaves and hidden among them, unlike ''Typha latifolia'' where the flow ...

Typha Latifolia
''Typha latifolia'' is a perennial herbaceous wetland plant in the genus ''Typha''. It is known in English as bulrushStreeter D, Hart-Davies C, Hardcastle A, Cole F, Harper L. 2009. ''Collins Flower Guide''. Harper Collins (sometimes as common bulrush to distinguish from other species of ''Typha''), and in American as broadleaf cattail. 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. Other names ''Typha latifolia'' is also sometimes known as great reedmace (mainly historical, but occasionally still in modern use), common cattail, cat-o'-nine-tails, cooper's reed, cumbungi. Description ''Typha latifolia'' grows 1.5 to 3 metres (5 to 10 feet) high and it has leaves broad. It will generally grow from 0.75 to 1'' ''m (2 to 3'' ''ft) of water depth. The leaves are deciduous, appearing in spring and dying down in the autumn. The flower ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Typha
''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 bulrushStreeter D, Hart-Davies C, Hardcastle A, Cole F, Harper L. 2009. ''Collins Flower Guide''. Harper Collins or (mainly historically) reedmace, in American English as cattail, or punks, in Australia as cumbungi or bulrush, in Canada as bulrush or cattail, and in New Zealand as raupō, bullrush, cattail or reed. Other taxa of plants may be known as bulrush, including some Cyperaceae, sedges in ''Scirpus'' and related genera. The genus is largely distributed in the Northern Hemisphere, where it is found in a variety of wetland habitats. The rhizomes are edible, though at least some species are known to accumulate toxins and so must first undergo treatment before being eaten. Evidence of preserved starch grains on grinding stones suggests they were already eaten in Europe 30,000 years ago. Description ''Typ ...

Freshwater Plants
Fresh water or freshwater is any naturally occurring liquid or frozen water containing low concentrations of dissolved salt (chemistry), salts and other total dissolved solids. The term excludes seawater and brackish water, but it does include non-salty mineral water, mineral-rich waters, such as chalybeate springs. Fresh water may encompass frozen water, frozen and meltwater in ice sheets, ice caps, glaciers, snowfields and icebergs, natural precipitations such as rainfall, snowfall, hail/ice pellets, sleet and graupel, and surface runoffs that form inland bodies of water such as wetlands, ponds, lakes, rivers, streams, as well as groundwater contained in aquifers, subterranea (geography), subterranean subterranean river, rivers and underground lake, lakes. Water is critical to the survival of all living organisms. Many organisms can thrive on salt water, but the great majority of vascular plants and most insects, amphibians, reptiles, mammals and birds need fresh water to sur ...
