Typha angustifolia L., Lesser Bulrush or Narrow Leaf Cattail, is a perennial herbaceous plant of genus Typha. This cattail is found in the northern hemisphere in marshy locations. Some claim it is an introduced plant in North America.[1]
The geographic range of Typha angustifolia overlaps with Typha latifolia (Broadleaf cattail). These two species hybridize as Typha x glauca (Typha angustifolia x T. latifolia) , white cattail. Common cattail is usually found in shallower water than narrow leaf cattail.[citation needed]
[edit] Culinary use
Several parts of the plant are edible.[2] The edible stem is called bồn bồn in Vietnam.photo
