Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Great reedmace, Hillsborough. Great reedmace growing beside the lake in Hillsborough forest.

To quote from another source "due to graphic mistake (or possibly even a deliberate error on his part) made by the Victorian artist Sir Lawrence Alma-Tadema, who famously painted "Moses in the Bulrushes" with the child's cradle depicted amongst reedmace instead of amongst clumps of the far less spectacular-looking bulrush, several subsequent generations of children have grown up believing that the reedmace is actually called the bulrush and is a myth that perpetuates to this day....".

This misunderstanding is sometimes evident in Royal Black Preceptory banners. See also 1228079.
