clustered bur-reed
Sparganium glomeratum (Laest. ex Beurl.) Beurl.
Sparganium glomeratum, known as clustered bur-reed, is a water plant species belonging to the family Typhaceae. It is native to high elevation lakes and marshes across Europe, Asia, and North America. Previously, its presence in North America was considered introduced due to its sparse and scattered populations. However, recent herbarium surveys in central Canada have identified additional localities, supporting its classification as a circumpolar species.
