Typha Minor

Typha minor, commonly known as the narrowleaf cattail, is a wetland plant that thrives in shallow water and moist soils. It is easily recognized by its dense, cylindrical flower heads that stand upright above the water's surface. This species plays a vital role in aquatic ecosystems by providing habitat and food for various wildlife species. Its rhizomes help stabilize soil and prevent erosion in wetland areas. Despite its common presence, Typha minor is often overlooked for its ecological importance and subtle beauty.
