Type: Wildflower	Light Exposure: Mixed Sun and Shade, Sun	Soil Moisture: Dry	3 feet	Bloom Color: White, Green, Brown	Bloom Months: June, July, August	USDA Info	This perennial plant is about 1-2½' tall. The stems have scattered white hairs and there is little branching, except for the production of long stalks for the flowers. The leaves occur in 1 or 2 whorls along the stem, usually in groups of 2 or 3. They are up to 5 inches long and across, and have long petioles with scattered white hairs. Each major leaf is divided into 2 or 3 deep lobes, which are in turn divided into 2 or 3 shallower lobes. Because these divisions are rather sharp, the leaves are cleft. Furthermore, the margins are coarsely serrate or dentate. The leaves are often light green or yellowish green in bright sunlight.
Variableleaf Pondweed Potamogeton gramineus	Type: Wildflower	Light Exposure: Mixed Sun and Shade, Sun	Soil Moisture: Wet	1 to 2 feet	Bloom Color: Green, Brown		USDA Info	Variable-leaf pondweed is a perennial plant that has two kinds of leaves. The floating leaves are leathery textured, oval to elliptical 3/8 to 1 1/2 inches long and 3/8 to 3/4 inches wide with a petiole one to two times a long as the blade. The submerged leaves are thin, less than 1/8 of an inch wide and 3/4 to 2 1/4 inches long with obvious midvein and a pointed tip. The fruits are flat about 1/8 of an inch wide and arise from the axis of the floating leaves.
