Scientific Names

Read about Sparganium in the Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture
Sparganium (Greek, fillet, referring to the ribbon-like leaves). Sparganiaceae. Bur-reed. Marsh or aquatic herbs which may be used in the bog-garden or along the pond-edge. Pflanzenreich, IV, 8. 1900. Leaves alternate, sessile, linear-elongate, erect or floating, entire: fls. monoecious, in globular, sessile, or pedunculate heads, the upper bearing 3-androus, naked fls. and minute scales, the lower consisting of numerous sessile or shortly pedicelled pistillate fls.; ovary 1-2-celled: fr. obovoid or spindle-shaped, 1-2-seeded.— About 15 species, temperate and subfrigid regions of the northern hemisphere and in Austral. Bur-reeds are marsh herbs closely allied to cat-tails but with fls. in globular heads instead of oblong spikes. A few hardy perennial kinds are advertised by collectors of native plants and one or two are procurable from specialists in aquatics. Bur-reeds are desirable only in bog-gardens or in wild-gardening operations. The beauty of these plants often lies in each species being massed alone, as well as in the mixing with other plants. ^CH The above text is from the Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture.
