Sagittaria Cuneata Sheld. and Sagittaria Latifolia Willd. Duck Potato

Sagittaria cuneata and Sagittaria latifolia - duck potato, wapato, arrowhead Page 1 of 2 Ecology home > Water Quality > Aquatic Plants, Algae & Lakes Shoreline Plants Species: Sagittaria cuneata Sheld., duck potato, wapato, arrowhead Sagittaria latifolia Willd., duck potato, wapato, arrowhead Family: Alismataceae Duck potato plants are shoreline perennials which usually have distinctly arrowhead shaped leaves. Both species have upright, emergent leaves and whorls of three petaled flowers on long stalks originating at the plant base. Large, round tubers are produced. S. cuneata grows to 0.5 m high and S. latifolia grows to 1.5 m high. Leaf:S. cuneata: emergent arrowhead-shaped leaves, 5-15 cm long; may also have long, narrow, oval-to-heart-shaped floating leaves, and long, narrow submersed leaves. Stalks usually triangular in cross section. S. latifolia: variable leaf shapes, but usually has emergent 5-45 cm long arrowhead shaped leaves when mature. Leaf stalks usually angular in cross section. Stem: Short, at plant base (stem-like leaf stalks arise from plant base) . Flower: Usually in whorls of three, each with 3 white petals and 3 green sepals (1-2 cm long). S. cuneata: flowers to 2.5 cm across. When in fruit the stalks are held upright. S. latifolia: flowers to 4 cm across. When in fruit the stalks spread outwards. Fruit:Achenes approximately 2 mm long, crowded on globe-shaped heads. S. cuneata: beak at achene tip 0.5mm. S. latifolia: beak 1-2 mm, horizontal. Root: Rhizomes with thick round white or bluish tubers that may grow as large as chicken eggs. Propagation: Tubers, rhizomes, seeds. Importance of plant: Tubers were an important food source for Native Americans. Tubers also provide food for beavers and muskrats. Tubers and achenes provide food for waterfowl. Distribution: S. cuneata: Throughout the United States and southern Canada; only east of Cascades in Oregon and Washington. S. latifolia: Common on Pacific coast, central, and eastern United States; in Washington, primarily west of Cascades and the Columbia River Gorge. Habitat: Shorelines and marshy areas up to 1.5 m deep. May be confused with: Each other. Leaf and achene characteristics are used to distinguish them. Unlikely to be confused with other plants when the arrowhead shaped leaves are present, though some less common species of Sagittaria don't have this leaf shape. May be confused with water plantains (Alisma spp.), water celery (Valisneria sp.), or bur-reeds (Sparganium spp.) which all have ribbon-like underwater leaves.

Aquatic Vascular Plant Species Distribution Maps
Appendix 11.5.1: Aquatic Vascular Plant Species Distribution Maps These distribution maps are for 116 aquatic vascular macrophyte species (Table 1). Aquatic designation follows habitat descriptions in Haines and Vining (1998), and includes submergent, floating and some emergent species. See Appendix 11.4 for list of species. Also included in Appendix 11.4 is the number of HUC-10 watersheds from which each taxon has been recorded, and the county-level distributions. Data are from nine sources, as compiled in the MABP database (plus a few additional records derived from ancilliary information contained in reports from two fisheries surveys in the Upper St. John basin organized by The Nature Conservancy). With the exception of the University of Maine herbarium records, most locations represent point samples (coordinates were provided in data sources or derived by MABP from site descriptions in data sources). The herbarium data are identified only to township. In the species distribution maps, town-level records are indicated by center-points (centroids). Figure 1 on this page shows as polygons the towns where taxon records are identified only at the town level.

Echinodorus Tenellus (Martius) Buchenau Dwarf Burhead
New England Plant Conservation Program Echinodorus tenellus (Martius) Buchenau Dwarf burhead Conservation and Research Plan for New England Prepared by: Donald J. Padgett, Ph.D. Department of Biological Sciences Bridgewater State College Bridgewater, Massachusetts 02325 For: New England Wild Flower Society 180 Hemenway Road Framingham, MA 01701 508/877-7630 e-mail: [email protected] • website: www.newfs.org Approved, Regional Advisory Council, May 2003 1 SUMMARY The dwarf burhead, Echinodorus tenellus (Mart.) Buch. (Alismataceae) is a small, aquatic herb of freshwater ponds. It occurs in shallow water or on sandy or muddy pond shores that experience seasonal drawdown, where it is most evident in the fall months. Overall, the species is widely distributed, but is rare (or only historical or extirpated) in almost every United States state in its range. This species has been documented from only four stations in New England, the northern limits of its range, with occurrences in Connecticut and Massachusetts. Connecticut possesses New England’s only extant population. The species is ranked globally as G3 (rare or uncommon), regionally by Flora Conservanda as Division 1 (globally rare) and at the regional State levels as endangered (Connecticut) or historic/presumed extirpated (Massachusetts). Threats to this species include alterations to the natural water level fluctuations, sedimentation, invasive species and their control, and off-road vehicle traffic. The conservation objectives for dwarf burhead are to maintain, protect, and study the species at its current site, while attempting to relocate historic occurrences. Habitat management, regular surveys, and reproductive biology research will be utilized to meet the overall conservation objectives.

Echinodorus Uruguayensis Arechav
Weed Risk Assessment for United States Echinodorus uruguayensis Arechav. Department of Agriculture (Alismataceae) – Uruguay sword plant Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service April 8, 2013 Version 1 Habit of E. uruguayensis in an aquarium (source: http://www.aquariumfish.co.za/pisces/plant_detail.php?details=10). Agency Contact: Plant Epidemiology and Risk Analysis Laboratory Center for Plant Health Science and Technology Plant Protection and Quarantine Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service United States Department of Agriculture 1730 Varsity Drive, Suite 300 Raleigh, NC 27606 Weed Risk Assessment for Echinodorus uruguayensis Introduction Plant Protection and Quarantine (PPQ) regulates noxious weeds under the authority of the Plant Protection Act (7 U.S.C. § 7701-7786, 2000) and the Federal Seed Act (7 U.S.C. § 1581-1610, 1939). A noxious weed is defined as “any plant or plant product that can directly or indirectly injure or cause damage to crops (including nursery stock or plant products), livestock, poultry, or other interests of agriculture, irrigation, navigation, the natural resources of the United States, the public health, or the environment” (7 U.S.C. § 7701-7786, 2000). We use weed risk assessment (WRA)—specifically, the PPQ WRA model (Koop et al., 2012)—to evaluate the risk potential of plants, including those newly detected in the United States, those proposed for import, and those emerging as weeds elsewhere in the world. Because the PPQ WRA model is geographically and climatically neutral, it can be used to evaluate the baseline invasive/weed potential of any plant species for the entire United States or for any area within it.

Sagittaria Policy
Declared Plant Policy This policy relates to natural resources management under section 9(1)(d) of the Landscape South Australia Act 2019 (the Act), enabling co-ordinated implementation and promotion of sound management programs and practices for the use, development or protection of natural resources of the State. Specifically, this policy provides guidance on the use and management of natural resources relating to the prevention or control of impacts caused by pest species of plants that may have an adverse effect on the environment, primary production or the community, as per object s7(1)(f) of the Act. sagittaria (Sagittaria platyphylla) Sagittaria is an emergent aquatic plant that is rare in South Australia. In the eastern States it is a problem weed that obstructs drains and irrigation channels. It resembles giant arrowhead, Sagittaria montevidensis, which is not known in South Australia, but is established in New South Wales and Victoria, and is the subject of a separate policy. Management Plan for Sagittaria Outcomes • Maintain waterways free of blockages by water weeds. • Maintain wetlands free of major weed threats. Objectives • Eradicate current infestations on the Murray and in dams in the Mount Lofty ranges • Prevent further introduction of sagittaria to waterways and wetlands. Best Practice Implementation • Any infestations of sagittaria discovered to be treated as incursions and destroyed. • To prevent introduction or spread, any sale and movement to be prohibited. • Regional landscape boards and Green Adelaide to inspect

Pickerel-Weed – Arrow-Arum – Arrowhead Emergent Wetland
Pickerel-weed – Arrow-arum – Arrowhead Emergent Wetland System: Palustrine Subsystem: Non-persistent PA Ecological Group(s): Emergent Wetland and Marsh Wetland Global Rank: GNR State Rank: S4 General Description This community type is dominated by broad-leafed, emergent vegetation; it occurs in upland depressions, borders of lakes, large slow-moving rivers, and shallow ponds. The aspect of these systems changes seasonally from nearly unvegetated substrate in winter and early spring, when plants are dormant, to dense vegetation during the height of the growing season. The most characteristic species are pickerel-weed (Pontederia cordata), arrow-arum (Peltandra virginica), and wapato (Sagittaria latifolia). Other species commonly present include showy bur-marigold (Bidens laevis), mannagrass (Glyceria spp.), goldenclub (Orontium aquaticum), bur-reed (Sparganium spp), arrowhead (Sagittaria rigida), soft-stem bulrush (Schoenoplectus tabernaemontani), spike-rush (Eleocharis palustris), false water-pepper (Persicaria hydropiperoides), water-pepper (Persicaria punctata), water smartweed (Persicaria amphibia), jewelweed (Impatiens spp.), common bladderwort (Utricularia macrorhiza), duckweed (Lemna minor), water-meal (Wolffia spp.), and broad-leaved water-plantain (Alisma subcordatum). This community is often interweaved with aquatic beds on the deep side, and shallower marsh or swamp communities on the shore side, and thus species characteristic of those communities are often present. This type is restricted to shallow (less than 2 meters at low
