Bulrush 蒲草
Bulrushes is the vernacular name, tules is a local moniker, and buggy whips is slang for several large wetland grass-like plants in the sedge family (Cyperaceae).
The name is particularly applied to several sedge family genera:
Outside of the sedge family, the name is used for Typha, a genus in the Typhaceae family. The Botanical Society of Britain and Ireland recommends "bulrush" as a common name for plants in the genus Typha. However, these species are widely known as reed mace in the United Kingdom.
