Description (Typha Latifolia)
Aquatic to semi-aquatic perennial from large coarse rhizomes. A monocot from the Typhaceae family. Growth and physical features resembling that of a large, spongy leaf grass. Brown sausage shaped flowering spike standing tall, borne during summer. Poisonous look-alikes include Iris and Sweet flag, neither of which produce the "cat tail". When in doubt do not eat.
Ecology
Wet lands, marshes, ponds, ditches, flood zones, lake shores -- low to middle elevations -- Most of the America's and Europe, virtually cosmopolitan.
Harvest
Roots and rhizome all year, tender inner leaves spring and summer, pollen in summer. Mature leaves good for construction. All parts are edible.
