| In ancient Egypt, the first papyri were supposedly produced as far back as the third millenium B. C. The raw material is real papyrus, a variety of galingale, which can grow up to 3 m high. |
| The sweet galingale with its terminal umbels of stiff spiky leaves has bent over double. |
| Here be oak trees, and here the galingale, and sweetly here hum the bees about the hives. |
| The number of rare species includes the serpentine thrift, the pannonian thyme, the prostrated speedwell, the English galingale and the mudwort. |
| Areas further up the south shore of Peskowesk Lake contain galingale and the rare grass Muhlenbergia uniflora. |
