Read about Sagittaria sagittifolia in the Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture
Sagittaria sagittifolia, Linn. Old-world Arrowhead. Rhizome thick and tuberous, stolon-bearing: lvs. broad and sagittate, very variable in form and size: scapes erect, simple or branched, overtopping the lvs.: bracts narrow-ovate, free or slightly connate at base, shorter than the pedicels: petals large, white; filaments glabrous: achene nearly or quite orbicular and in this respect differing from the allied American species. Throughout Eu. and Asia.—By some authors the American S. latifolia and others are considered to be con-specific. Var. florepleno, Hort. (S. japonica, Hort. S. japonica fl.-pl., Hort.), is a form with double fls. common in cult. G.C. III.30:171. Gn. 74, p. 67. G.M. 44:779. G.W. 3, p. 621. J.H. III. 43:219.—S. chinensis of most trade-lists is apparently one of the many forms of this species. There appears to be another S. chinensis in the trade, with lanceolate lvs., the botanical position of which is undetermined. The above text is from the Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture.
