- Leaves alternate, but mostly subopposite toward the inflorescence apex (involucral leaves), sessile or petiolate, 1- to many-nerved, all submerged and with filiform, grass-like or ± expanded blade, or dimorphic, the submerged ones thin and ± translucent, sometimes reduced to phyllodes, the floating ones ± coriaceous, opaque, petiolate,and usually broader; stipulesalways present,although sometimes fugacious, forming a sheath, connate or convolute around the stem; blade or petiole sometimes attached near the top of the sheath which projects beyond the joint as a ventralligule, sometimes attached farther down the sheath or arising from the node
- Morphology Reproductive morphology Inflorescences
- Spikes cylindrical or subglobose, 3- to many-flowered, dense or lax, sometimes interrupted, mostly borne above the water and wind-pollinated, but sometimes submerged and water-pollinated
- Morphology Reproductive morphology Flowers Tepal
- Tepals rounded at the apex
