    Notes: Summary Seeds of Typha latifolia were exposed to leaf extracts, leaf pieces, and soil water from adult plants of T. latifolia. In liquid culture, only extracts of concentration greater than or equal to 3% (dry weight to volume) inhibited seed germination. Adding soil to the liquid cultures increased the inhibition of seed germination by extracts. The inhibitory effects of extracts were correlated with the development of water molds in the cultures; prior to the development of water molds, even 15% extracts were not inhibitory to germination. In contrast to results from extracts; neither 3% concentrations of senesced leaf pieces nor soil surface water from one year old pots of T. latifolia had any detrimental effects on germination. Seeds sown into pots containing established T. latifolia germinated as well as seeds sown into control pots. These results do not support the contention that T. latifolia inhibits the germination of its seeds by the release of allelopathic substances.

    Notes: Summary The objective of this study was to separate the effects of plant biomass and growth rate on vegetative reproduction in two species of cat-tail, Typha latifolia and T. angustifolia. Replicate clones of both species were grown under conditions of 100%, 42%, 24%, and 9% full sunlight with harvests at 41, 70, and 91 days after shading. T. angustifolia produced most of its vegetative offspring before the first harvest and increased biomass over the remainder of the experiment by increasing the size of its ramets. In contrast, T. latifolia produced vegetative offspring gradually throughout the experiment adding new ramets only after existing clones were of mature size. As a result of these differences in the cloning process, T. angustifolia showed little correlation between vegetative reproduction and clone size while T. latifolia showed a strong correlation between gegetative reproduction and clone size at the three highest light intensities. Growth rates, average clone size and vegetative reproduction were all reduced by reductions in light intensity for both species. However, no effect of growth rate on the relationship between clone size and vegetative reproduction in T. latifolia could be detected. T. latifolia showed greater survivorship and more biomass production under 9% light than T. angustifolia indicating a greater shade tolerance.

    Notes: Summary Seasonal excavations of ramet systems in overlapping natural populations of Typha latifolia and T. angustifolia revealed intrapopulation variation in ramet size and reproduction. Reproductive “states” were recognized based on whether or not a ramet had flowered and the number of offspring ramets it possessed. As the growing season progressed, the populations became increasingly heterogeneous in their reproductive-state composition with the largest size classes of ramets containing the greatest number of reproductive states. Therefore, despite a strong correlation between size and reproduction, average ramet size was considered to be an inadequate predictor of population growth in ramet numbers. Results for vegetative reproduction and ramet mortality indicate that the T. latifolia population was growing while the T. angustifolia population was approximately stable. In contrast to most results reported for other species, the frequency distributions of ramet size classes showed T. angustifolia to have a normally distributed population. A slight degree of positive skewing occurred in T. latifolia with the greatest skewing at the end of the growing season. Despite the lack of strong skewing of ramet weights, evidence from other sources have demonstrated that competition was intense and we hypothesize that competition in clonal populations may not not always act to cause positive skew in weight distributions.
