Order Typhales
The two families that make up Order Typhales are the Cattail Family
(Typhaceae) and the Bur-reed Family (Sparganiaceae). These plants have very
small male and female flowers that are grouped into clusters. Each tiny
female flower has just one ovule in its ovary. This picture shows a cattail
with fruits formed from sausage-shaped flower clusters, and a bur-reed with
spherical flower clusters.
