Typha /ˈtaɪfə/ 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 bulrush or reedmace,[2] in American English as reed, cattail,[3] swamp sausage, or punks, in Australia as cumbungi or bulrush, in Canada as bulrush or cattail, and in New Zealand as raupō. Other taxa of plants may be known as bulrush, including some sedges in Scirpus and related genera.
In school we would paint the seed mass, and the Shoshoni here ate the roots,(to me they tast like MUDD) we also ate tumblweed mustar, button weeds and wove table mats out of the leaves, have to keep them wet to not dry out too quci..
In that case, could you please tell us who the artist is?
