[While Typha latifolia is considered native to Nfld. in most references, it's presence in Nfld may represent 2 separate introductions: an early introduction in Quiddy Viddy, eNfld. (1894 CAN) and a more recent introduction that spread from swNfld. along the TCH through western and central and neNfld. during the middle of the 1900s.  The first Labrador report of Typha latifolia was made in 2019 by Sean Blaney from Happy Valley-Goose Bay, cLab.]
