[Taxacom] Stuckey &. Salamon. 1987. Typha angustifolia in North America

[Frederick W. Schueler]

* I'm very grateful to Valéry Malécot for having found this for me. I've 
appended the text for any cattailers who may want a copy of this "oops - 
  there are aliens among us" document.

TYPHA ANGUSTIFOLIA IN NORTH AMERICA: A FOREIGNER MASQUERADING AS A 
NATIVE. Ronald L. Stuckey and Douglas P. Salamon. Department of Botany, 
The Ohio State University, Columbus, OH 43210. The distributional 
history of T. angustifolia, narrow-leaved cattail, in North America 
strongly suggests that this species, usually treated as native, may have 
arrived on the continent with early European settlement and migrated in 
the glacial wetlands to the Great Lakes region and farther westward. The 
first floras written of the areas for Boston, New York, Philadelphia, 
and localities elsewhere, in the early 19th century do not report T. 
angustifolia; but their later floras, by 1820, state it as being present 
or rare. By 1860, the species was known from at least ten localities in 
four northeastern states. It then spread westward mostly via canals 
through the states of New York and Ohio, by 1900, and reached as far 
west as southern Lake Michigan. By 1940, T. anqustifolia had penetrated 
farther west, to the eastern edge of the Great Plains. During this 
period, its movement was influenced largely by railroads. With the 
expansion of the nation's highway system since then, T. angustifolia is 
known today from southern Canada and the United States in all states 
east of the 105th meridian. In contrast, the native, T. latifolia, 
common cattail or broad-leaved cattail, by 1900 was common in most 
localities in nearly every state. The distributional history and 
geographical range of their hybrid, T. x glauca, parallels that of T. 
anqustifolia.
