fruits/flowers: | no flowers |
notes: | A curious form with flaccid leaves "leaves up to 18in high Hayward" "more or less succulent" F.Robinson calls this the "deep water form of Sparganium ramosum" but the whole plant is so different in habit that I cannot think it that. The leaves, though not so rigid as usual in S. aloides, all spring from the root in the same manner are serrated note also the creeping ? FR now admits it S.aloides |
