By: Zachary Simpson
Bulrush
• Distribution: • Hard stem: temperate North America. Softstem:

Cattail
• Common Cattail:
• is a common plant that occurs in North America, it is also native to Eurasia.
• Habitats:
• include marshes, swamps, seeps, borders of rivers and ponds, and ditches.
Duckweed
• Duckweed:• is a fairly cosmopolitan plant found
worldwide. • Habitat: • Is normally listed as mesotrophic to
eutrophic, quiet waters in suboceanic, cool, temperate regions with relatively mild winters.
Pondweed
• Habitat:
• Is commonly found in alkaline and high nutrient waters, preferring soft substrate and shallow water depths. It tolerates low light and low water temperatures.
• Where found:
• It has been reported in all states but Maine
Smartweed
• Where found: • Occurs in every county of Illinois, and is
common. • Habitat:• It can be found in moist black soil prairies,
swamps, near ponds or lakes, edges of marshes, abandoned fields, moist areas along railroads and roadsides, vacant lots, fence rows, and other waste areas.

Fescue
• The primary habitats: • For tall fescue are agricultural fields and pastures and
former tall-grass prairie. It also grows well in disturbed and waste areas such as highway and railroad right of ways.
• Where found:• Tall fescue occurs throughout the continental U.S. and
has been reported to be invasive in natural areas in Arkansas, Georgia, Kansas, Idaho, Iowa, Louisiana, Missouri, Nebraska, New Jersey, Oklahoma, Oregon, Tennessee, Washington, and Wisconsin.
Multiflora Rose
• Habitat: • Has a wide tolerance for various soil, moisture,
and light conditions. • Where found:• It occurs in dense woods, prairies, along stream
banks and roadsides and in open fields and pastures.
Purple Loosestrife
• Where found: • In wetlands such as cattail marshes, sedge meadows and open
bogs. It also occurs along streams, riverbanks, and lakeshores. It is not uncommon to find it growing in man-made storm-water retention ponds and in ditches next to parking lots and roads.
• Habitat• Grows best in highly organic soils, but tolerates a wide range of
soils including clay, sand, muck and silt. Generally, the plant is found in full sun, but it can survive in partial shade.
