Aquatic Plants Group Journals List

 Many ponds have more than one type of aquatic plant, and care must be taken in identifying all the aquatic plants that inhabit the pond. Some pond plants may benefit local or migratory wildlife and may therefore be encouraged or not eliminated. Click on whichever group of aquatic plants you feel may belong to your specimen and work through the examples until you find them. Algae are plants of very primitive origin. Any algae (planktonic algae) are microscopic. Others are thin and stringy (filamentous algae) or hairlike. While others are still large and resemble higher plants but without real roots. True floating plants are not fixed downwards. Floating plants come in sizes from very small (duckweed) to over one foot (water hyacinth) in diameter. Many, though not all, have roots from the floating green portions which hang in the water. Submerged plants are rooted plants with most of their vegetative mass below the surface of the water, even though some portions may stick over the water. One defining attribute of underwater plants is their flaccid or delicate roots, which is why they typically do not grow above the surface of the water. Emerging plants are mostly rooted plants along the shoreline that rise above the water level (cattails). Emerging plant stems are very persistent or solid.
