Rohrglanzgras
Most European reed beds mainly comprise "Phragmites australis" but also include many other tall monocotyledons adapted to growing in wet conditions – other grasses such as reed sweet-grass ("Glyceria maxima"), Canary reed-grass ("Phalaris arundinacea") and small-reed ("Calamagrostis" species), large sedges (species of "Carex", "Scirpus", "Schoenoplectus", "Cladium" and related genera), yellow flag iris ("Iris pseudacorus"), reed-mace ("bulrush" – "Typha" species), water-plantains ("Alisma" species), and flowering rush ("Butomus umbellatus"). Many dicotyledons also occur, such as water mint ("Mentha aquatica"), gipsywort ("Lycopus europaeus"), skull-cap ("Scutellaria" species), touch-me-not balsam ("Impatiens noli-tangere"), brooklime ("Veronica beccabunga") and water forget-me-nots ("Myosotis" species).
