包括120到300個物種（依分類法而異）的屬，為一年生或多年生的水生植物，生長於池塘、沼澤或湖的似草物種，可結出單獨或小串的穗狀花序。莖梗通常被用來編織強韌的蓆子、籃子和椅座。蘆葦有濾器的作用，能吸收有毒金屬及有毒的微生物，進而幫助降低水汙染。本屬的分類法相當複雜，目前仍在審核中，最終可能會將某些物種移至其他的屬。在聖經的英譯本中，「bulrush」一詞被誤用於指稱紙莎草植物（Cyperus papyrus）；「bulrush」一詞在英國有時也用於指稱香蒲屬的物種。

寬葉香蒲

英文....

Genus containing 120 to 300 species (depending upon the classification) of annual or perennial aquatic, grasslike species growing in ponds, marshes, and lakes. They bear solitary or small clustered spikes. Their stems are often used to weave strong mats, baskets, and chair seats. Bulrushes may act as a filter, absorbing poisonous metals and toxic microorganisms, thus helping to reduce water pollution. The taxonomy of the genus is complex and currently under review, which will likely result in some species being moved to other genera. In English translations of the Bible, the term "bulrush" is mistakenly used to refer to the papyrus plant, Cyperus papyrus. In Britain, the term "bulrush" is sometimes used to refer to species of genus Typha.
