Abstract
Nine species of helophytes were described using the systematic approach: Alisma plantago-aquatica, Butomus umbellatus , Sagittaria sagittifolia, Sparganium emersum, Glyceria maxima, Phragmites australis, Scirpus lacustris, Typha latifolia, T. angustifolia. The species were divided into four groups according to their characteristics: monopodial rosette plants with a short rhizome, sympodial semirosette plants with a short rhizome, sympodial semirosette tuberous plants, sympodial plants with a long rhizhome. It was determined that maternal individuums and vegetative offsprings of polycarpic plants tended to become short-lived. This tendency was implemented in different ways.
