Along the shores are found Carex, Purple loosestrife, Milk Parsley, and Lesser Bulrush.

The lake hosts 54 species of coastal aquatic flora, including cane, calamus, bulrush, grass rush, Lesser Bulrush and water parsnip.

Typha angustifolia - Lesser Bulrush, Narrow Leaf Cattail (America) or Jambu (India)

Along the shores are dense stands of Common Reed, Lesser Bulrush, Common Bulrush, and Unbranched Bur-reed.

The lake has a fringe of vegetation dominated by great and lesser reedmace.

Characteristic plants include milk parsley, greater water parsnip and lesser reedmace.

The reed swamp consists of common reed and lesser reedmace.

Around the edge are areas of birch and willow and reedbeds with common reed, lesser reedmace and sweet flag.

Other species include the fan- leaved water crowfoot, flowering rush, lesser reedmace, frogbit, blunt-leaved pondweed, lesser pondweed and the brown sedge.

Both meres are surrounded by well-developed reed beds, with Big Mere having a particularly large variety of species including common club-rush, greater pond-sedge, lesser reedmace and tufted-sedge, which is rare in Cheshire.

Marsh plants include Great Spearwort, Lesser Water-plantain, Lesser Reedmace, Greater Tussock Sedge, Purple Small-reed, Great Water Dock, Yellow-wort and Traveller's-joy.

The larvae feed on Typha latifolia and sometimes Typha angustifolia.

The corpses were found in a dense swathe of cattail (Typha angustifolia), which suggested they had taken shelter there.

Typha angustifolia var.

The larvae feed inside the seedheads of Typha species, including Typha angustifolia and Typha latifolia.

The larvae feed on the leaves of Trifolium repens,Taraxacum species, Equisetum arvense and Typha angustifolia.

As a result the marsh shifted to a freshwater state and became dominated by the invasive species P. australis, Typha angustifolia and T. latifolia that have little ecological connection to the area.

In the fertile lands water by the Magdalena River, one can find species like Eichhornia azurea, Typha angustifolia, Heliconia, Eichhornia crassipes, Bactris minor, Anacardium excelsum, Ficus radula, and Lecythis minor.

According to Queensland Department of Natural Resources and Mines (2003) the modern name is derived from the aboriginal "Yekkabin" which referred to aquatic plants (possibly Typha angustifolia or Blechnum indicum) with edible roots which grew in the creek.

T. latifolia shares its range with other related species, and hybridizes with Typha angustifolia, narrow-leaf cattail, to form Typha x glauca (Typha angustifolia x T. latifolia), white cattail.
