Description
Most are robust perennials, but some may be annual or perennial, depending on water conditions - they are normally perennial in permanent waters, annual in more season conditions but there are exceptions. The stems are corm-like or stoloniferous. Juvenile and submerse leaves are often linear, whilst more mature and emerse leaves can be linear to ovate or even sagittate. Most have a distinct petiole, with a sheathed base. An annual plant is a plant that usually germinates, flowers and dies in one year. ...
