Explanation:
"Bulrushes is the vernacular name for several large wetland grass-like plants in the sedge family (Cyperaceae)....
The Botanical Society of Britain and Ireland recommends "bulrush" as a common name for plants in the genus Typha. These species are sometimes known as reed mace in the United Kingdom. They are sometimes also called cattails."

Without further information, like the Latin name, a generic "reeds/rushes" is about the most specific guess I can come up with.
