Typha /ˈtaɪfə/ is a genus o aboot eleven species o monocotyledonous flouerin plants in the faimily Typhaceae. The genus haes a lairgely Northren Hemisphere distribution, but is essentially cosmopolitan, bein foond in a variety o wetland habitats.
The rhizomes are edible. Evidence o preserved starch grains on grindin stanes suggests thay wur eaten in Europe 30,000 years ago.[1]
