Description

Key Characters:

Growth Form: Plants completely submerged rooted in seawater.

Stems: Stems greenish to brownish, capillary or slender, terete (cylindrical), (2–)4–10 dm long, many-branched, arising from creeping rhizomes.

Roots: Fibrous root system, also rooting at nodes.

Leaves: Leaves simple. Alternate, all similar, well-spaced or somewhat clustered. Blades linear, 10–100 mm long, 0.2–0.5(–1) mm wide. Apex rounded to obtuse. Base expanded into an open sheath. Margins entire. Only the midvein evident. Sheathing. Stipules membranous, sheathing and adnoate to leaf bases, sheath (2–)5–20(–70) mm long, ligule ± present.

Flowers: Flowers 2 per peduncle, axillary, peduncles at first short, elongating up to 3 dm long in fruit, often spiraling or coiling, during anthesis the peduncles and flowers concealed by the sheath of the uppermost stem leaves, the sheath ruptured by the elongating peduncle during anthesis as the flowers move to position slightly above the water surface. Flowers very small and inconspicuous, bisexual (perfect). Calyx (sepals) absent. Corolla (petals) absent. Stamens 2; anthers subsessile, dithecal, opening by longitudinal slits, the relatively large pollen sacs well separated on an expanded connective. Ovary superior, carpels (2–)4(–8), distinct, each carpel becoming elevated on a slender stipe in fruit so that the carpels of each flower form an umbelliform cluster; ovule 1, pendulous, campylotropous; stigma sessile or subsessile, peltate or umbonate.

Fruit: Fruit small; drupaceous; asymmetrically ovoid; borne on the slender stipe that continually elongates as the fruit matures; the stipe often twisted.; fruit symmetrical to asymmetrical; ovoid to pyriform; (1.5–)2–3(–4) mm long; the beak erect or curved; the elongate stipe 4–15(–35) mm long. Seeds without endosperm.

Ploidy: 2n = 16; 20; 24; 40

Habitat: Aquatic; occurring in brackish ponds and estuaries or similar man–made watercourses.

Elevation Range: 0–15 m.
