                 9 Petals linear, < 1.5× as long as the sepals; filaments fused for > 1/2 their length; larger aerenchyma (as measured at 1 mm from the midvein on the underside of the leaf) 0.4-1.6 mm across; stranded plants with leaves with obtuse, truncate, or subcordate bases and all major veins gently curving and parallel
             7 Leaves straplike, elongate, linear, the sides parallel and not differentiated into petiole and blade.
                   10 Leaves to 35 cm long; [saltwater]; [subfamily Hydrilloideae]
