Sagittaria Cuneata
''Sagittaria cuneata'' is a North American species of flowering plant in the water plantain family known by the common name arumleaf arrowhead or duck potato.

The leaves are variable in shape, many of them sagittate (arrow-shaped) with two smaller, pointed lobes opposite the tip. The leaf blades are borne on very long petioles. The plant is monoecious (individuals bearing both male and female flowers). The inflorescence, which rises above the surface of the water, is a raceme made up of several whorls of flowers, the lowest node bearing female flowers and upper ones bearing males. T ...

Sagittaria Graminea
''Sagittaria graminea'', the grassy arrowhead or grass-leaved arrowhead, is an aquatic plant species native to eastern North America.
