Comments

Arumleaf arrowhead is the most common Sagittaria in the Watershed, largely collected from the Basin, in standing or slow-moving water and on muddy banks of ditches and ponds. Occasionally is ranges up into the montane. Sagittaria cuneata follows the Rio Grande drainage halfway down New Mexico but no farther down stream.
