It is distinguished from other water crowfoots by a lack of submerged capillary leaves, all leaves being shiny, ivy shaped with 3-5 shallow lobes, broadest at the base and sometimes darker in the centre. Ivy-leaved crowfoot grows in mineral waters whereas the similar-looking round-leaved crowfoot is "invariably" found in more peaty waters.
