Some similarities to : Un-branched Bur-reed, but un-branched bur-reed is without branches in the stem.

Not to be confused with : Bur-Marigolds such as London Bur-Marigold or Nodding Bur-Marigold [plants with similar name from a different family].

The Genus Sparganium [which was the sole member of the Bur-Reed (Sparganiaceae] Family) has more recently been found to more closely match the Family Typhaceae, which is to where the Sparganiaceae Family has now been subsumed.
