* yes, as the Wikipedia article says "The genus Schoenoplectus was
formerly considered part of Scirpus, but recent phylogenetic data shows
that they are not closely related."
A bit of a wrench to use the new longer name, but they never were much

>>> This is not my photo but we are wondering what this large reed(?) might be. It is in the Fort Lawrence sewage lagoons. The info I have is that there are only about four clumps, this being the largest and tallest. And it grows fast. Another photo I saw showed a warbler on a large diameter round stem. Probably common to other sewage lagoons and perhaps planted to aid water filtering.
