'''''Sagittaria''''' is a genus of about 20 species of [[aquatic plant]]s whose members go by a variety of common names, including '''arrowhead''', '''duck potato''', '''katniss''', '''kuwai''', '''swan potato''', '''tule potato''', and '''wapatoo'''.

Several species bear [[tuber]]s edible as a [[starch]]y [[root vegetable]] that are collected from the wild or cultivated as crops in [[North America]] and [[East Asia]].

== Description ==

[[Image:Sagittaria sagittifolia bloem kl.jpg|left|thumb|''[[Sagittaria sagittifolia]]'' flowers]]

Stock often stoloniferous and tuberiferous. [[Leaves]] aerial, floating or submerged. [[Flowers]] unisexual or polygamous, in umbela, racemes or panicles with female or hermaphrodite flowers at the base and male flowers above or occasionally with the [[flowers]] all male or all female. [[Stamens]] usually numerous. [[Carpels]] numerous, spirally arranged, free, each with 1 ovule; styles apical or subventral. [[Fruit]]lets achenial, laterally compressed, obliquely obovate, the margins winged, with apical or ventral beak.

Probably due to introductions from the [[aquarium]] trade, S. platyphylla (Engelm) G. E. Sm. is naturalized in at least one locality in N. Italy and S. subulata (L.) Buchenau in at least one locality in S. England.

Several species are commonly grown in [[aquariums]] or in the [[pond]].

== Ecology ==

Found in canals, ponds, ditches and slow rivers but is never abundant

		+	Sagittaria (sagitta is Latin for arrow, referring to the arrow-shaped leaves). Alismaceae. Arrowhead. Perennial hardy herbs useful for foliage effects in bogs and shallow ponds and also for their white buttercup-like flowers.
		+
		+	Plants of mostly erect habit, aquatic, the lvs. and scapes arising from more or less tuberous or knotted rootstocks: lvs. typically arrow-shaped, with long basal lobes, but sometimes long and linear: fls. imperfect, monoecious (staminate fls. usually in the uppermost whorls) or dioecious, with 3 white broad petals and 3 small greenish sepals, the stamens and pistils numerous, the latter ripening into small achenes; infl. composed of successive whorls of 3-stalked fls. Sometimes the lvs. are floating. The number of species admitted is variable, but Buchenau in the last treatment of the genus in Engler’s Das Pflanzenreich, hft. 16 (iv. 15, 1903) describes 31. Temperate and tropical regions of the world though lacking in Afr. and Austral.
		+
		+	Sagittarias are mostly used for colonizing in the open, but S. montevidensis—now the most popular species—is grown in indoor aquaria or plunged in open ponds in the summer. The arrowheads are perennials of easy culture, although likely to be infested with aphis. Propagation is by division, or sometimes by seeds.
		+
		+	S. macrophylla has appeared in trade-lists as "a variety with large foliage and tall lax spikes of white fls." Its botanical position is uncertain as there are two distinct things of this name, one a valid species, the other a large-lvd. form of S. sagittifolia.
