Potamogeton clystocarpus
Little Aguja pondweed is a rare, fully aquatic plant found in only one place: Little Aguja Creek in Texas, and it is federally listed as endangered. It is not a commonly grown garden plant, and the sources describe only its wild habitat.
Potamogeton clystocarpus is a rare species of flowering plant in the pondweed family known by the common name Little Aguja pondweed. It is endemic to Texas in the United States, where it is known only from Little Aguja Creek in Jeff Davis County. This single population represents the only known occurrence of this aquatic plant. It is a federally listed endangered species of the United States.
The species is restricted to Little Aguja Creek, which drains the Davis Mountains of West Texas. This dynamic stream experiences seasonal fluctuations including drought conditions with low water levels and scouring floods during high drainage periods. Water quality is affected by upstream chemical contamination and livestock activity.
