Callitriche Stagnalis Var. Kuetzingii

Callitriche stagnalis var. kuetzingii is a small, floating aquatic plant commonly found in still or slow-moving freshwater habitats. It is characterized by its delicate, thread-like leaves that often form dense mats on the water surface. This variety is closely related to the common water starwort and shares similar ecological preferences. Despite its modest appearance, it plays a vital role in maintaining water quality by absorbing excess nutrients. Its presence is often an indicator of healthy, unpolluted aquatic environments.
