Broad-leaved cattail

The leaves were the necessary size and width. It was approximately 12 cm long, 2 cm wide. We weren’t sure until we measured it and it met the necessary requirements to be classified a Broad-Leaved cat-tail. It met the criteria of leaves 1-2 cm wide and 1.5-3 meters tall.

We believe it’s a broad leaved cat-tail due to the width of the leave itself. Also it was a healthy plant because it took a great deal of force to break the stem.

The cat-tail reproduces it’s seeds by letting them go into the wind to land somewhere else and grow, Some landed on my shoe (Picture Above) and the seeds look like that. If they had landed on a fertile stable ground, they’d begin to grow and look like a cat-tail. (See picture A)
