It is indeed a bulrush, or alternately a reedmace. And that looks an awful lot like a waterlily to me.

please accept acorn for the picture you have listed as oak since what you picture is the fruit from an oak tree not an oak by itself. Or call it an oak nut but most commonly known by acorn.

Instructions say to name the plant even if only a part of it is shown. The plant is oak, the acorn is part of it.

I really don't think acorn should work either. It's not a plant only the product of the plant. I don't see any difference in that clue and the maple leaf clue. They both lead you to the plant source not just the part of the plant shown in the picture

Water lily for Lily..... Bulrush for Cattail........ I'm guessing the 'Irishman' hasn't seen real Shamrock....... Ladies Lace for Queen Ann's Lace ...... otherwise good quiz.

A water lily is not actually a lily. And the cat tail is a bullrush in most parts of the world

Technically, Kelp is not a plant. It is a protist (an algae). So, probably shouldn't be on this quiz with "plant" right there in the title. Glad to get the point for it, but still.

Please accept "Fig" or at least "Strangler Fig" as a type in for Banyan tree - there are several species of fig that look exactly like that.

Banyan is known in Australia almost without exception as curtain fig or strangler fig tree.

Curtain fig is one particular example of strangler fig (I used to live 5 minutes from it) on the Atherton Tablelands, it's not the name for the trees in general.

Kelp is not a plant, it is a protist more closely related to algae. Not in the same kingdom as plants.

Also, Bulrush is a Juncus species, so a proper rush related to the grasses and sedges. Cattails (Typha spp.) are forbs, monocots not closely related to the grasses, sedges and rushes. The picture is correctly identified as a cattail.

Apparently Queen Ann's lace can refer to two plants, one of which is also known as cow parsley (as some have pointed out above). I guess whether or not cow parsley is allowed depends on which plant is shown... any ideas?
