American Pondweed

What American Pondweed Looks Like:
American pondweed is a perennial plant that has both floating and a few submerged leaves in an alternate pattern. The floating leaves are elliptical to oval 4 to 7 inches long and 1 to 2 inches wide on long petioles. Submerged leaves are not abundant and are blade-like, somewhat transparent and smaller than floating leaves. Fruits are on spikes that often stand above the water's surface and are brownish to reddish in color, 2 to 3 inches long and 1/8 to 1/4 inches wide.
