Typha dominguensis

 Typha dominguensis (narrow-leaved cattail) (tule)

Typhaceae



  • A group of tall marsh species are the cattails. The most common of these in our desert areas is the narrow-leaved cattail, which is distinguished by a bare area on the flowering stalks separating the male flowers above the female flowers below. It reproduces vegetatively from underground rhizomes. It is able to survive the anaerobic conditions of waterlogged soils by using hollow stems to transport air to the roots.
