  Typha - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Typha is a genus of about ten species of monocotyledonous flowering plants in the monogeneric family, Typhaceae.
Typha plants grow along lake margins and in marshes, often in dense colonies, and are sometimes considered a weed in managed wetlands.
In Japan, the typhas are often used by Japanese to tease and rub cats (as is often seen in manga and anime).

 typha   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-19)
Abstract: Typha, a genus with widespread distribution in the United States, is a nuisance aquatic plant because of its ability to take over marshes and other freshwater environments usually to the extent of becoming monospecific.
In the expansion of opportunistic Typha, many factors need to be considered, including its size, growth habits, adaptability to changes in the surroundings (nutrient levels, hydroperiod, shade) and the release of compounds that could prevent the growth of other species.

 Biodiversity Impact of Cattail (Typha dominguensis) Dominated Marsh Areas in the Seasonal Wetlands at Palo Verde ...   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-19)
Introduction: The cattail (Typha dominguensis) is an invasive and exotic species in the freshwater marshes of Palo Verde National Park, Guanacaste Province, Costa Rica (Gonzales, 2001).
Typha has spread invasively in the marsh since its introduction, thus reducing the amount of open, standing water in cattail monoculture areas.
Reasons are no doubt related to the fact that these aquatic insects are using the Typha stands as a nursery area thus limiting their exposure to the multitude of predators in the more open water areas of the marsh.

 Broad-leaved Cattail (Typha latifolia) - Chesapeake Bay Program
The broadleaf or common cattail, Typha latifolia, is an erect perennial herb that grows on nearly every continent and is native throughout the United States, in any area where the soils remain saturated or flooded during the growing season.
It is found in almost all wetland plant communities, in deep marshes and shallow bogs, growing sometimes in one to two feet of water, and in some areas grows so rapidly that it becomes invasive.
The second widespread Bay species, the narrowleaf Typha angustifolia, also prefers fresh water but can be found in the tidal fresh parts of the Bay's tributaries and in the salt marshes of the upper Bay.

Distinguished from the closely related Narrow Leaf Cattail (Typha angustifolia) by its broader leaves and its fruiting spikes showing no separation between the male and female sections.

The vegetation of this tall grassland is a mixture of freshwater and saltmarsh species dominated by Typha angustifolia.
In salt marshes behind barrier beaches it can occur in the upper reaches of larger tidal creeks within brackish areas and also at the upland border where there is significant freshwater input from the adjacent upland; here it receives irregular tidal flooding only during high spring tides.
Patches dominated by Typha angustifolia tend to occur where there is more freshwater influence near the upper reaches of estuaries or at the upland border of high salt marshes where there is freshwater input from the surrounding upland.
