Extract

Typha angustifolia L. var. brownii (Kunth) Kronf., known as cumbungi in Australia and narrow leaved cattail in the U. S. A., is a deep rooted perennial widely distributed throughout the world. It occurs naturally in swamps and marshy areas and also in irrigation channels, where it may seriously impede the flow of water during the irrigation season. Various mechanical methods of control have beeen devised; the most successful consists of regular cutting and subsequent maintenance of 15 to 18 inches of water above the cut stalks. This method was successfully employed in the Murrumbidgee Irrigation Area of New South Wales for many years, but recently has been virtually discarded because of rising labour costs.
