Sagittaria subulata
Also called Dwarf sagittaria, Narrow-leaved arrowhead, Rubbon wapato, Narrow Leaf Arrowhead, Dwarf Arrowhead
Sagittaria subulata, the awl-leaf arrowhead, narrow-leaved arrowhead or dwarf sagittaria, is an aquatic plant species native to the Americas.
It is native to Colombia, Venezuela, and every US state along the coast from Massachusetts to Louisiana. It has also been reported as naturalized in Great Britain on just three occasions; only one of these is recent and it appears to have become extinct by 2010. It is also recorded as a non-native on the Azores, and on the Island of Java in Indonesia. It grows primarily in shallow brackish water along the seacoast, in marshes, estuaries, etc.
