Question
Can you identify this weed which is growing in Lake Masscupic, Tyngsboro, MA in waist deep water. It appears to have no leaves. I have never seen this weed in any other lake or pond. Thank you.
Answer
Dear DESelf, these look like the fruiting stalks of Vallisneria americana (tape-grass). This is a common, native, aquatic plant of lakes and slow-moving rivers.
