/ˈridˌmeɪs/

Forms: see reed n.¹ and mace n.²

Origin: Formed within English, by compounding. Etymons: reed n.¹, mace n.²

Etymology: < reed n.¹ + mace n.², on account of the resemblance of its stems and flower spikes to a mace.

Any plant of the genus Typha (family Typhaceae), which comprises herbaceous perennial marsh plants with tall erect stems, long strap-shaped leaves, and small unisexual flowers densely packed in a velvety brown cylindrical spike; esp. the north temperate plants T. latifolia (more fully common reedmace, great reedmace, greater reedmace), in which the male and female parts of the spike are contiguous (also called bulrush, cat's tail), and the narrower-leaved T. angustifolia (more fully lesser reedmace), in which the male and female parts of the spike are separated by a short distance of exposed stem.
