Abstract

Typha shuttleworthii W.D.J.Koch & Sond. in W.D.J.Koch (1844: 786) is a species distributed in Central and Southern Europe, from France to Ukraine (Leonova 1976; Cook 1980) as well as Turkey and Iran (Baytop 1984; Hamdi et al. 2009) but it may have been overlooked due to its resemblance to the better known Typha latifolia Linnaeus (1753: 971), especially in the early stages of inflorescence development. It was firstly described from Switzerland based on samples provided by Robert James Shuttleworth, who was an English botanist and malacologist active in Bern from 1833 to 1866 (Stafleu & Cowan 1985).
