Stuckenia is a genus of flowering plants. It contains 32 species, subspecies, varieties, forms, and cultivars found in the nearly worldwide seas. Pondweed is a common name for plants in this genus.[1]

Description

These herbs present rhizomes but not turions; the tubers can be absent or present. The main difference between Stuckenia and Potamogeton is that the stipule joins the leaf base, when it is pulled the sheath and stipule comes away, similar to a grass sheath and ligule.
