Sagittaria fasciculata
Bunched arrowhead is a perennial aquatic herb from a few wetlands in the southeastern US, growing up to about 35 cm tall. It is grown in shallow water or wet soil and is valued for its edible tubers, though it is a rare native and not a common garden plant.
Sagittaria fasciculata, the bunched arrowhead (also known as duck potato, Indian potato, or wapato) is a plant found in a small number of wetlands in the Southeast United States.
S. fasciculata is only known to be found in Henderson and Buncombe Counties in North Carolina plus Greenville and Laurens Counties in South Carolina.
This plant produces edible tubers that were heavily collected by Native Americans as a food source.
