INFORMATION!

SLENDER NAIAD
Najas minor

Photo of naiad

One of the major distinguishing features of slender naiad are the leaves. The leaves are opposite, 1 - 1 1/2 inches long with marginal teeth which are easily noticed with the human eye. The sheath from which the leaves grow is also toothed on either side. Naiad spreads rapidly because it can spread by both fragmentation and seed production.
