BULRUSH , a name now generally given to Typha latifolia, the reed-mace or club
stem
long , arranged in opposite rows, and a tall stem
long , of closely packed male(above) and female
flowers
familiar
brown
mass of minute one-seeded fruits, each on a long hair -like stalk and covered with long downy hairs, which render the fruits very light and readily carried by the wind. The name bulrush is more correctly applied to Scirpus lacustris, a member of a different family (Cyperaceae), a common plant in wet places, with tall spongy, usually leafless stems, bearing a tuft of many-flowered spikelets. The stems are used for matting, &c. The bulrush of Scripture, associated with the hiding of Moses, was the Papyrus (q.v.), also a member of the order Cyperaceae, which was abundant in the Nile.End of Article: BULRUSH If you wish, you can link directly to this article.
