Re: Potamogeton species information

[Paul Krombholz <krombhol at teclink_net>]

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.
