Sagittaria sagittifolia is a herbaceous perennial plant, growing in water from 10–50 centimetres (4– 19 + 1 ⁄ 2 inches) deep. The leaves above water are arrowhead-shaped, the leaf blade 15–25 cm (6–10 in) long and 10–22 cm (4– 8 + 1 ⁄ 2 in) broad, on a long petiole holding the leaf up to 45 cm (17 + 1 ⁄ 2 in) above water
The leaves can be completely lost during cold periods, with the plant lying dormant in its tuberous root system, allowing this cycad to be relatively cold hardy. The plant can survive up to USDA region 8b (10° to 20°F). The stems and leaves regenerate after the cold period subsides with full foliage. [8] [9]
The plant produces rosettes of leaves and an inflorescence on a long rigid scape. The leaves are extremely variable, from 10–50 cm (4– 19 + 1 ⁄ 2 in) in length [10] and 1 to 2 cm (1 ⁄ 2 to 3 ⁄ 4 in) thin to wedge-shaped like those of S. cuneata. Spongy and solid, the leaves have parallel venation meeting in the
Typha, known as cattails or bulrushes, are found throughout the world and a characteristic plant of wetland environments. Utricularia, known as the bladderworts, are carnivorous plants with species found worldwide. Water lilies are aquatic flowering plants with leaves that float on the surface of bodies of water.
The plant grows from a thick rhizome, typically measuring 30 cm (0.98 ft). It has leaves that are large, each 40–55 cm (16–22 in) long and 30–40 cm (12–16 in) wide. Blooming early in the spring, just its blossoms can be seen above the mud. The plant is generally pulled back into the earth as it develops every year.
The wetland status of 7,000 plants is determined upon information contained in a list compiled in the National Wetland Inventory undertaken by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and developed in cooperation with a federal inter-agency review panel (Reed, 1988). The National List was compiled in 1988 with subsequent revisions in 1996 and 1998.
Typha latifolia is a perennial herbaceous wetland plant in the genus Typha.It is known in English as bulrush [4] [5] (sometimes as common bulrush [6] to distinguish from other species of Typha), and in American as broadleaf cattail. [7]
This category contains the native flora of Florida as defined by the World Geographical Scheme for Recording Plant Distributions. Taxa of the lowest rank are always included; taxa of higher ranks (e.g. genus) are only included if monotypic or endemic. Include taxa here that are endemic or have restricted distributions (e.g. only a few countries).
