Water arrowhead, scientifically known as Sagittaria montevidensis subsp. calycina, is a striking aquatic plant native to the wetlands of South America. With its arrow-shaped leaves and delicate white flowers, it adds a unique aesthetic to freshwater ecosystems. This plant thrives in shallow water, often forming dense underwater stands that provide habitat for various aquatic life. Its presence is an indicator of healthy water quality and ecological balance. Despite its beauty, it can become invasive in non-native regions, requiring careful management.
