  • Question

    Hi. I think this plant is Potamogeton. vaseyi. I found it at Windling Trails, Farmington Ct. in a small still pond on Sept. 29, 2014. Does my photo verify it? Thanks, Steve Messier

    Answer

    Dear Steve, your image certainly looks like a plant of Potamogeton vaseyi, but I cannot see details of the stipules (which would be necessary for identification). If your plant has distinct stipules (i.e., not fused to the leaf for any distance), then I would say yes. Best wishes.
