− | 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.
