Description

Vallisneria americana, commonly known as American eelgrass, wild celery, or tape grass, is a submerged aquatic plant native to freshwater habitats across North America, including lakes, rivers, and estuaries. Characterized by its long, ribbon-like leaves that can reach up to 43 inches in length, it forms dense underwater meadows that play a crucial role in aquatic ecosystems. These meadows provide habitat and food for various aquatic species, including fish and waterfowl, and contribute to water quality by stabilizing sediments and absorbing nutrients. V. americana reproduces both vegetatively through runners and sexually via seeds, with female flowers that float on the water surface to facilitate pollination. Its tolerance to a range of salinities makes it adaptable to different freshwater environments.

Long, ribbon-like submerged leaves up to 43 inches in length.
