  • Question

    I/m not sure what this is but think it might be either sessile-fruited arrowhead or Grass-leaved Arrowhead. The purple flower makes me wonder.

    Answer

    Dear nhaperkins, good evening. I can't help you without knowing where this plant was photographed. Location is critical information for identification to help us understand what species are in contention for an identification. I have not seen species of Sagittaria with purple petals in our region before, was this photographed somewhere in New England? Thank you.
