Typha domingensis - Bulrush, Southern Cattail (America) or Narrow-leaved Cumbungi (Australia)

Pirituba's name origin is the juxtaposition of the Tupi language words "piri" (Southern cattail, a marshland plant of the Typha genus) and tuba ("many").

Thatching was less common, but cumbungi (rushes), and blady grass were used if available.

North and South Lake Wyangan are used for water storage; they contain an area of cumbungi.

Many springs also support small stands of Cumbungi with the understories of some dominated by the fern Achrostichum speciosum.

The cumbungi and grasses occur along waterways and the edges of Lake Kununurra, as well as in agricultural fallows.

Typha orientalis - Broadleaf Cumbungi (Australia) or Raupo (New Zealand)

Typha domingensis - Bulrush, Southern Cattail (America) or Narrow-leaved Cumbungi (Australia)

There are stands of Banbar and Swamp Paperbark fringing the northern and eastern margins, with a patchy understorey of Broadleaf Cumbungi.

Campbell's Swamp is a black box-lignum swamp containing extensive open areas punctuated by stands of reeds and cumbungi; it fills occasionally from local rainfall or with water released from the irrigation system.

Typha latifolia (Bulrush, Common Bulrush, Broadleaf Cattail, Common Cattail, Great Reedmace, Cooper's reed, Cumbungi) is a perennial herbaceous plant in the genus Typha.

Marshes divided into three different types: Cattail (Typha domingensis), wetland, and mixed species.
