Key to Sagittaria

A genus of about 25 species, herbs, primarily of the Americas. Groups (and Complexes within the Graminea Group) shown in the key and text are based on Keener (2005).

Glossary (beta!)

Key advice:Portions of this key (and treatment) are provisional. The taxonomy and best characters to use in the linear-leaved species is particularly problematic.
