Sagittaria weatherbiana Fernald. clade: Graminea Group, Secundifolia Complex. Common name: Weatherby’s Arrowhead. Phenology: Apr-Jun. Habitat: Fresh to brackish marshes, tidal cypress-gum swamps, streambanks, pineland pools. Distribution: Se. VA south to Panhandle FL.

Origin/Endemic status: Endemic

Taxonomy Comments: Isozyme studies by Hauber & Legé (1999) provide evidence that this taxon should be given species status; its genetic identity with var. graminea is low, and comparable to the difference between S. graminea (in the narrow sense) and S. platyphylla.
