open-in-new
<h2 id="description">Description</h2> <p>These herbs have rhizomes but not turions. Tubers can be absent or present. The main difference between <i>Stuckenia</i> and <i>Potamogeton</i> is that the <a href="/facts/Stipule/dpF27NFo">stipule</a> joins the leaf base. When it is pulled the sheath and stipule comes away, similar to a grass sheath and <a href="/facts/Ligule/bBrfX8d9">ligule</a>. </p> <h2 id="species">Species</h2> <ul><li><i>Stuckenia aldanensis</i></li> <li><i>Stuckenia amblyophylla</i></li> <li><i>Stuckenia arctovaginata</i></li> <li><i>Stuckenia austrosibirica</i></li> <li><i>Stuckenia borealis</i></li> <li><i>Stuckenia bottnica</i></li> <li><i>Stuckenia carbonata</i></li> <li><i>Stuckenia chakassiensis</i></li> <li><i>Stuckenia clavata</i></li> <li><i>Stuckenia fennica</i></li> <li><i><a href="/facts/Stuckenia_filiformis/NAosL15P">Stuckenia filiformis</a></i> (slenderleaf-pondweed)</li> <li><i>Stuckenia gibbosa</i></li> <li><i>Stuckenia helvetica</i></li> <li><i>Stuckenia interior</i></li> <li><i>Stuckenia macrocarpa</i></li> <li><i>Stuckenia marina</i></li> <li><i>Stuckenia matyrensis</i></li> <li><i>Stuckenia meinshausenii</i></li> <li><i>Stuckenia mirabilis</i></li> <li><i>Stuckenia mongolica</i></li> <li><i>Stuckenia omoloica</i></li> <li><i>Stuckenia palaeofiliformis</i></li> <li><i>Stuckenia pamirica</i></li> <li><i><a href="/facts/Stuckenia_pectinata/XEgV2cVd">Stuckenia pectinata</a></i> (fennel pondweed, sago pondweed)</li> <li><i>Stuckenia praepectinata</i></li> <li><i>Stuckenia praevaginata</i></li> <li><i>Stuckenia pseudorostrata</i></li> <li><i>Stuckenia punensis</i></li> <li><i>Stuckenia sakmarensis</i></li> <li><i><a href="/facts/Stuckenia_striata/CTIdcRKA">Stuckenia striata</a></i> (broadleaf pondweed)</li> <li><i>Stuckenia subretusa</i></li> <li><i>Stuckenia suecica</i></li> <li><i>Stuckenia tenuicarpa</i></li> <li><i><a href="/facts/Stuckenia_vaginata/C5zEx4cw">Stuckenia vaginata</a></i> (sheathed pondweed)</li> <li><i>Stuckenia vaginatoides</i></li> <li><i>Stuckenia zosteracea</i></li></ul> <ul><li>Börner, C. 1912.
