    © Zool.-Bot. Ges. Österreich, Austria; download unter www.biologiezentrum.at 89 Monographie der Gattung Typha Tourn. (Typhinae Agdh., Typhaceae Schur-Engl.). Von Dr. M. Kronfeld. (Mit Tafel IV und V.) (Vorgelegt in der Versammlung am 7. Jänner 1888.) I. Einleitung. (Geschichtlicher Ueberblick. Allgemeines.) Es konnte nicht fehlen, dass eine allerwärts verbreitete und physiog- nomisch so sehr auffallende Gattung wie Typha schon von den ersten Natur- forschern beachtet wurde. In der That nennt bereits des Aristoteles Schüler Theophrast (371—286 n. Chr.) an mehreren Stellen seiner Pflanzengeschichte ein Gewächs ncpr). Und sicher ist, dass wir mindestens ein oder zwei der Beleg- stellen auf die Typha im heutigen Sinne beziehen dürfen. Legen wir nämlich die Ausgabe Theophrast's von Heinsius (Leyden, 1613) zu Grunde, so sind von vorneherein auszuschliessen: I 9, II 5, VIII 8 (p. 11, 31, 152, 155, 157), wo es sich bestimmt um ein gesätes (VIII) und in Weizen (II 5, VIII 8) umwandelbares Getreide1) handelt. Dagegen könnte die tup») I 8 mit knotenlosen Stengeln unsere Typha bedeuten. Ohne Zweifel ist als solche die Pflanze in IV 11 anzusehen. Von dieser heisst es, sie wachse im See Orchomenos und sei zur Speise geeignet, indem die Knaben gerne an dem zarten Theile kauen, welcher den Wurzeln zunächst ist. Des Näheren auf den ökonomischen Abschnitt verweisend, wollen wir hier nur daran erinnern, dass den Kosaken am Don der Wurzelstock von Typha latifolia noch heute zur beliebten Speise dient.
