Reed-Mace 2
The Greater Reed-Mace (Typha latifolia)
is one of the most characteristic plants of pond edges and wet ground.
It's also called the Bullrush or Cat's-Tail. These hard, velvety brown
"Cat's tails" are the female flowers, now ripened to seedheads
and starting to break up and disperse the down wind-bourne seeds.
