Southern cattail is a tall perennial wetland herb with long, strap-like leaves and dense brown cylindrical flower spikes. It grows in marshes, ponds and riverbanks across warm regions of the world, including India.
In Ayurveda it is known as Eraka. The root and the fine yellow pollen have traditionally been used in external preparations for skin care, and the leaves are woven into mats and baskets.
