Myriophyllum pedunculatum
Myriophyllum pedunculatum is known for its feathery, whorled underwater leaves that fan out in delicate arrays along its stems. Above the water's surface, myriophyllum pedunculatum displays emergent flower spikes, easily recognized by their tiny blooms. This adaptation allows myriophyllum pedunculatum to thrive in submerged conditions, as it can draw nutrients from water rather than relying solely on soil. Its dense foliage provides hiding places for aquatic organisms, signifying a healthy underwater ecosystem.
