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 ...

Sparganium Emersum
''Sparganium emersum'' is a species of flowering plant in the cat-tail family known by the common names European bur-reed and unbranched bur-reed. It has a circumboreal distribution, occurring throughout the northern latitudes of Eurasia and North America. It is an aquatic plant, growing in shallow water bodies such as ponds and streams. It can become abundant at times. It is a perennial herb producing a floating stem up to 2 meters long. The leaves may be limp and floating or stiff and erect, emerging above the water surface. The leaves are flat and straplike, sometimes with a triangular, keeled base that can help distinguish it from the similar '' Sparganium angustifolium''. It is monoecious, individual plants bearing both male and female inflorescence An inflorescence is a group or cluster of flowers arranged on a Plant stem, stem that is composed of a main branch or a complicated arrangement of branches. Morphology (biology), Morphologically, it is the modified part ...

Sparganium Americanum
''Sparganium americanum'', American bur-reed, is a perennial plant found in the United States of America and Canada.http://plants.usda.gov/core/profile?symbol=SPAM ''Sparganium americanum'' Nutt. American bur-reed, United States Department of Agriculture Natural Resources Conservation Service Though this species resembles a grass, it is a type of bur-reed.http://www.aquascapesunlimited.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=plants.plantDetail&plant_id=102&typeID=2 ''Sparganium americanum''. Aquascapes Unlimited Inc. This species is important for conservation purposes because it has the ability to remove nitrogen and phosphorus runoff from water, like many other wetland species. By doing this it protects waterways from excess nitrogen which can cause eutrophication. This increased nitrogen is especially a problem during the farmers’ growing season. During this same time frame the ''S. americanum'' is growing and taking up nitrogen.Kao, Jenny T., John E. Titus, and Wei-Xing Zhu. 2003. Diffe ...

Sparganium Eurycarpum
''Sparganium eurycarpum'' is a species of bur-reed known by the common names broadfruit bur-reed and giant bur-reed. It is native to wetlands A wetland is a distinct ecosystem that is flooded or saturated by water, either permanently (for years or decades) or seasonally (for weeks or months). Flooding results in oxygen-free (anoxic) processes prevailing, especially in the soils. The p ... in Eurasia and North America. It is a clonal perennial, spreading by below-ground rhizomes. The common name, bur-reed, arises from the distinctive round clusters of fruits that take the form of a mace. It can be distinguished from all other species of bur-reed by the presence of two stigmas. This species frequently occurs in areas with spring flooding, and may be emersed during periods of lower water. The buried rhizomes provide one method to survive periods of drought, fire, or ice scour. The flowers are wind pollinated, the male flower clusters being separate and more highly elevated than t ...

Sparganiaceae
Sparganiaceae is a family of flowering plants. Such a family was previously recognized by most taxonomists. The APG II system, of 2003 (unchanged from the APG system, 1998), also recognizes this family, and assigns it to the order Poales in the clade commelinids, in the monocots. The family consists of only one genus ''Sparganium'' of fewer than two dozen species, perennial plants of wet habitats. By the APG III system of 2009, ''Sparganium'' had been found to be fairly closely related to '' Typha'', and so was placed with that genus in family Typhaceae. The Cronquist system, of 1981, also recognized such a family and placed it in the order Typhales in the subclass Commelinidae in class Liliopsida in division Magnoliophyta. The Wettstein system A system of plant taxonomy, the Wettstein system recognised the following main groups, according to Richard Wettstein's ''Handbuch der Systematischen Botanik'' (1901–1924). 3rd edition (1924) Outline Synopsis * Flagellatae p.& ...
