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.

'''''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
