Thanks Garg ji for resurfacing this post for ID validation. *Typha* is common in Thane, Mumbai. However, the occurrence has drastically reduced due to reclamation of inland marsh and swamp area. It must be occurring widely in Maharashtra..
One publication (PDF in Marathi) from the State Gazetteer Department that I use as a quick reference to know about distribution in Maharshtra is महाराष्ट्रातील वनस्पतीशास्त्र आणि वनसंपदा <http://cultural.maharashtra.gov.in/english/gazetteer/Vansampada/PDF/271-546.pdf> . About *Typha*, there is only one species listed, distributed state-wide - *Typha domingensis* Pers. ... synonyms: *Typha angustata* Bory & Chaub. • *Typha angustifolia* Sibth. et. Sm. *non L*. I will wait to know the conclusion of *Typha* spp. distribution in Maharashtra, and thus any resolution of ID in this post. Regards. Dinesh On Thu, Jul 2, 2020 at 12:06 PM J.M.
