''Typha domingensis'', known commonly as southern cattail or cumbungi, is a perennial herbaceous plant of the genus ''Typha''. It is found throughout temperate and tropical regions worldwide. It is sometimes found as a subdominant associate in mangrove ecosystems such as the Petenes mangroves ecoregion of Yucatán.〔World Wildlife Fund. Eds. M. McGinley, C. M. Hogan, & C. Cleveland. 2010. (''Petenes mangroves''. ) Encyclopedia of Earth. National Council for Science and the Environment. Washington, DC.〕 In Turkish folk medicine the female inflorescences of this plant and other ''Typha'' are used externally to treat wounds such as burns. Extracts of ''T. domingensis'' have been demonstrated to have wound healing properties in rat models.〔Akkol, E. K., et al. (2011). (The potential role of female flowers inflorescence of ''Typha domingensis'' Pers. in wound management. ) ''Journal of Ethnopharmacology'' 133(3) 1027-32.〕 Water extracts of the fruit, female flower and male flower of ''Typha domingensis'' exhibit iron chelating activity as well as superoxide and nitric oxide scavenging activities. By contrast, only the fruit and female flower extracts were found to have alpha-glucosidase inhibitory activity.〔Chai TT, Mohan M, Ong HC, Wong FC (2014) (Antioxidant, iron-chelating and anti-glucosidase activities of ''Typha domingensis'' Pers. (Typhaceae) ). Tropical Journal of Pharmaceutical Research 13(1): 67-72.〕 Recently it was found that Typha domingensis is very effective at reducing bacterial contamination of water for agricultural use. This plant helps to reduce, up to 98 percent, pollution by enterobacteria (usually found in the intestines of mammals) involved in the development of disease.〔(Common weed revealed to diminish water pollution )〕 ''Typha domingensis'' grows in Afghanistan, Albania, Algeria, the Andaman Islands., Angola, Argentina, Armenia, Assam, Australia, Azerbaijan, the Azores, the Balearic Islands, Bangladesh, Benin, Bermuda, Bolivia Ecuador, Bosnia & Herzegovina, Botswana, Brazil, Bulgaria, Burkina Faso, Burma, Canary Islands, Cape Verde, Central African Republic, Central America, Chad, China, Congo-Brazzaville, Congo-Kinshasa, Corsica, Ivory Coast, Crete, Crimea, Croatia, Cyprus, Djibouti, Egypt, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Fiji, France (incl.
