Common in pools, ditches and on wet mud. Top leaves c 1.5 cm Skye ID: Leaf-blades of floating rosette almost circular. Other features: Tiny flowers, without sepals or petals, but either 1 stamen or 2 styles, in the axils of the rosette leaves, followed by near-spherical fruit about 1.8 mm across. Submerged leaves become more oval-bladed and long-stalked the further down you go, but never linear as in many Callitriche species. |
