07102011-BS-3 Aquatic herb from Amin (Kurukshetra) Haryana- May be a new record<\/a>: Aquatic herb from Amin (Kurukshetra) Haryana (260 CM)
<\/font>This wild, small, about 20-25 CM aquatic herb <\/font>with floating simple leaves<\/font> were observed yesterday
The inflorescence spike was 20-25 CM with flowers at tip<\/font>
To me it looks like any pontederaceae<\/i> member
pls id\u00a0\n<\/div>\n

\n

This\u00a0seems to be\u00a0some Aponogeton<\/i> species. A very interesting genus.\u00a0 <\/p>\n

\n
\nIt is not Potamogeton<\/i>… because…it is Aponogeton<\/i> \ud83d\ude42

\n
\n

I was just typing the same (from FBI), but you were quicker.
…, the leaf shape, colour and length of inflorescence are useful in distinguishing Aponogeton<\/i>.
The tuber (or rhizome) is used as vegetable in TN, and sold in veg. markets.
<\/font>Tamil name: ‘Kotti vitlaan kizhangu’<\/b> (i have tasted it, too !!) <\/p>\n

I feel this may not be Aponogeton satarensis<\/i> which is supposed to have a ‘Y’ shape as shown in Kaas week.<\/div>\n
\n

This is Aponogeton natans<\/i> (L.) Engler called \u0b95\u0bca\u0b9f\u0bcd\u0b9f\u0bbf\u0b95\u0bbf\u0bb4\u0b99\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bc1\u00a0 in Tamil; the tubers are edible.<\/p>\n

\n

Thanks. How do you differentiate it from Aponogeton brugenii <\/i>?<\/p>\n

As per <\/font>http:\/\/www.iucnredlist.org\/details\/177177\/0<\/font><\/a>, <\/font>Aponogeton bruggenii<\/i><\/font><\/a>‘<\/i> s range\u00a0is given below:<\/font><\/div>\n
“It was reported from the type locality, Nerurpar which is about 9 km west of Kudal in Sindhudurg district of Maharashtra state. Apart from type locality, it has also been collected from Sathose near Savantwadi in Sindhudurg district (Gaikwad et al.<\/span> 2003).”<\/font>\u00a0<\/div>\n
In view we can take it as Aponogeton natans<\/i> untill some other facts come into picture.<\/p>\n
\n

Thanks for the clarification.
The leaf in TBN 1 d does not look lance shaped or linear; looks ovate, resembling the ovate leaves of bruggenii<\/i>; TBN 1 b looks more linear.\u00a0 Hence the confusion.
If possible, I shall collect once again and take measurements.\u00a0<\/p>\n
