Re: Reed mace or bulrush?

Greater Reed Mace Typha latifolia was colloquially known as Bulrush for as long as I can remember. It now appears to have been adopted as the official name, which is slightly confusing as the Common Bulrush a completely different plant has now been rebranded as Common Club-rush. At least I think that's the latest taxonomy on the matter. I'm sure someone will correct me.

Greater Reedmace is what I call it.
