More precisely, Aaru was envisaged as a series of islands, covered in "fields of rushes" (Sekhet Aaru), Aaru being the Egyptian word for rushes.
In addition to the cultivated crops, the site is vegetated by various grasses in the farmland; cattails, Lyngbye's sedge, and bulrushes in the intertidal zone; and Red alder, willows and Black cottonwood, along with snowberry, salmonberry, and blackberries in the wooded areas.
This allows for the swamp-like habitat to exist for the growth of cattails (Typha latifolia L.) and also Juncus sp.
It was found that the worker ants remove soil from under clumps of wiregrass, other grasses or other fibrous rooted plants such as blackberry (Rubus spp.) or cattails (Typha spp.).
They are similar in size and shape, being oval, about 1.6 km long by 1.3 km wide, with large central areas of open water when full and with shorelines vegetated with concentric fringes of the introduced bulrush Typha orientalis, sedges, paperbarks and other plants tolerant of seasonal waterlogging.
North and South Lake Wyangan are used for water storage; they contain an area of cumbungi.
Originally thought to inhabit Typha beds growing along small, shallow watercourses and Acacia thickets, studies in 1996 found F. harwoodi in a site with neither of these.
The plants used in the production of herbero include at least four of the following: sage, chamomile, pennyroyal, lemon verbena, the root of the blessed thistle, peppermint, cattail, fennel, anise, melissa, agrimony, savory, felty germander, thyme, and French lavender.
Prominent were freshwater fish (primarily bonytail, Gila elegans, and razorback sucker, Xyrauchen texanus), freshwater mussels (Anodonta dejecta), water birds (particularly American coot, Fulica americana), and marsh plants (cattail, Typha, tule, Scirpus, and reed, Phragmites).
Alien vegetation is still a threat, as is the excessive proliferation of the indigenous Bulrush (Typha) which is caused by unnatural quantities of minerals and nutrients being washed into the wetland from urban storm water.
The shores of the Sea of Azov contain numerous limans, estuaries and marshes and are dominated by reeds, sedges, Typha and Sparganium.
Instead, it follows a straight path near Cattail Run Road, connecting with Virginia Route 9 at Keyes Gap.
The word Yanchep is derived from Yandjip or Yanget which is the aboriginal name for the local bulrush reed found fringing the lakes in the area.
