ABSTRACT 



This paper is the second in a series of reports on the aquatic and 

 wetland flora of New England. It treats all species of the Typhaceae 

 and Sparganiaceae occurring in New England and includes keys, 

 comments on taxonomy and nomenclature, habitat and distributional 

 information, water chemistry data, illustrations and dot maps. Those 

 species regarded as rare and endangered in one or more of the six New 

 England states are also noted. 



Onetaxon, Sparganium multipedunculatum, previously reported as 

 occurring in New England is excluded from the flora, based on a 

 reexamination of the specimens. 



KEY WORDS: Aquatic Plants, New England Flora, Taxonomy, Typhaceae, Spar-
