Sevenangle Pipewort (Eriocaulon setaceum)
Description
Seven-angled pipewort is found in wet soil or shallow water of lakes and slow-moving rivers in all New England states. While many other aquatic plants are wind- or water-pollinated, seven-angled pipewort has a nectar gland near the tip of each petal, to attract insect pollinators.
