The spawning herbs ( Potamogeton ) are a genus of plants within the family of the spawning herbs (Potamogetonaceae). These aquatic plants are found in the temperate and subtropical areas almost worldwide. The best known and most common species is the floating pondweed ( Potamogeton natans ), which can form large carpets of floating leaves on bodies of water.
description
These are perennial ( perennial ) herbaceous plants . These are diving or floating leaf plants rooted in the water bed. There are both very delicately built species and those with strong underwater and / or swimming leaves. Some species develop shoot axes up to 3 meters long and colonize correspondingly deep water zones. The diving leaves, which are often translucent like a network nerve, are usually arranged alternately and have a leaf sheath. The simple leaf blades are narrow-linear to rounded.
The terminal, inconspicuous greenish, spike-like inflorescences protrude from the water for wind pollination . The missing perianth is replaced by four stamen appendages.
Site conditions
Spawning herbs are the eponymous and distinctive genus of the plant-sociological class of " Potamogetonetea pectinati R. Tx. & Prsg. 1942 corr. Oberd. 1979 “(= Laichkraut- and swimming-leaf societies) and several different associations and dominance societies. The plants form "underwater forests", which provide numerous animals with a habitat and opportunities to lay eggs and spawn, as well as contribute to the oxygen supply and self-cleaning of a body of water.
Different types of water bodies are settled: Still water bodies such as ponds , ponds, small ponds and diving leaf zones of large lakes, but also weak to moderately flowing water bodies such as streams, rivers, canals and ditches. Some species are adapted to less nutrient-poor locations; however, most prefer moderately eutrophic waters. As a result of human intervention in the landscape - including water pollution, river straightening, ditch clearance - many species of pondweed have become rare and are on the red list of endangered plant species. The spread of the neophytic , anthropogenically naturalized waterweed in Europe also displaced some stocks of pondweed.
Systematics and distribution
The genus Potamogeton was established in 1753 by Carl von Linné in Species Plantarum , 1, p. 126. Potamogeton natans L. was established as the lectotype species in 1909 by Norman Taylor in North American Flora , Volume 17, 1, p. 14.
From the genus of spawning herbs ( Potamogeton ) dealt with here, there are around 21 species in Central Europe (Germany), but also at least 17 hybrids from some of these species, which can make the determination considerably more difficult.
Some species found their way into the aquarium hobby .
There are 75 to 95 or 100 Potamogeton species and at least 69 hybrids:

Note: The taxonomic position of the dwarf spawning herbs Potamogeton pusillus and Potamogeton berchtoldii has not yet been adequately clarified due to the great variability. Since the two species are very difficult to tell apart, they are also treated as a collective species " Potamogeton pusillus agg." .
