I have another species of Potamogeton that I got from John Glaeser of
the Madison (Wisconsin) Aquarium Gardeners Club. He got it from a
lake in southeastern Wisconsin. It produces no floating leaves and
has narrow translucent leaves with wavy edges. It looks like a cross
between P. perfoliatus and Najas. Its leaves are longer and narrower
than those of perfoliatus, and its stems are much thinner. Like
perfoliatus, it spreads rapidly, given decent lighting. It is a
nice-looking plant, and is smaller and more delicate than many of the
other Potamogetons. I have it confined to a gallon jar on the
windowsill,now, but it can be multiplied quickly.
