Thanks Garg ji for bringing this up. Yes, the two species appear very close. *Typha angustifolia* native range is Temp. Northern Hemisphere. *Typha domingensis* native range is Tropics & Subtropics. >From this I would have expected that *Typha domingensis* would be more widespread in the warm tropical climate. But of course, this is not enough justification, and I would like to know if *Typha domingensis* is found in Maharashtra. Since it is pantropical, I will be surprised if it is not found in Maharashtra. Best wishes Tabish
