Slender Watermilfoil (Myriophyllum tenellum)
Description
Myriophyllum tenellum Slender water-milfoil gets its common name from its slender, leafless stems, which differ from other milfoils whose stems are leafy. The flowers are wind pollinated, and the carpellate (seed-bearing) flowers mature before the staminate (pollen-bearing) flowers, thereby reducing the chance of self pollination.
