Sparganium
''Sparganium'' (bur-reed) is a genus of flowering plants, described as a genus by Linnaeus in 1753. It is widespread in wet areas in temperate regions of both the Northern and Southern Hemispheres. The plants are perennial marsh plants that can grow to 3.5 m (depending on the species), with epicene flowers. It was previously placed alone in the family Sparganiaceae. ''Sparganium'' is closely related to the Typhaceae and the APG III system (2009) includes ''Sparganium'' in that family. It has been determined from phylogenetic analysis to be the closest living relative of the genus '' Typha'' (cat-tail). Summary ''Sparganium'', commonly known as the bur-reed, is a genus of aquatic plants of shallow marshes, ponds and streams. There are 9 species found in the United States and Canada. The stem, which may be floating or emergent, emerges from a buried rhizome, which like many wetland plants, is dependent upon aerenchyma to transport oxygen to the rooting zone. The leaves are st ...
