A previously unrecorded Typha species has been found in Korea. Its morphology is characterized by short plant height (1.0$pm$0.2 m), narrow leaves (3.2$pm$0.9 mm), short pistillate inflorescences (4.7$pm$1.4 cm), and a high ratio of staminate inflorescence length to pistillate inflorescence length (2.2$pm$0.4). Because these characters are identical to the original description of Typha laxmanni Lepechin, we can now report its distribution in Korea.
