Stratiotes (Greek, soldier, referring to the sword-shaped leaves). Hydrocharitaceae. Water Soldier, or Water Aloe. Perennial hardy aquatic herb of small ornamental value but considerable botanical interest: st. very short, stoloniferous: lvs. clustered, all sessile, submerged, linear-lanceolate, fleshy, acute, margin with many pointed teeth: scapes short or elongated: spathes extending above the water, unisexual, 2-lvd.: fls. white; male fls. 2 to several in a spathe, pedicelled, perianth 2-rowed, 3-merous; stamens 11-15; pistils rudimentary or none; female fls. solitary in the spathe, short-pedicelled, perianth similar to male; staminodes many, linear; ovary oblong, somewhat 6-celled: fr. on a recurved pedicel, laterally exserted from the spathe, ovoid, acuminate.—One species, Eu. The plant has a distinct calyx which is not the rule among monocotyledons.

One of the peculiarities of stratiotes is that in summer the whole plant rises to a point near the surface when it is only partly submerged, and later in the season it drops below the surface. Young plants do not act thus. It is propagated by side shoots from the base of the leaves. Toward fall and early winter these shoots are merely bulblets and are readily detached from the plant and are in a good condition for traveling. It is not desirable for the aquarium on account of its spiny leaves.
