Plastic
- Leaf shape has been found to be highly plastic, with variability due to changes in light, water chemistry, planting depth, sediment conditions, temperature, photo period, waves, and seasonality. All Potamogeton have a delicate membranous sheathing scale, the stipule, at the leaf axil.

Genus: Potamogeton. — pondweed. Species of Potamogeton produce one or both of two types of leaves— submersed and floating. All species of Potamogeton produce submersed leaves, which are very thin and translucent.. Floating leaves are thick and opaque.
Species of Potamogeton produce one or both of two types of leaves—submersed and floating. All species of Potamogeton produce submersed leaves, which are very thin, translucent, and generally occur below the surface of the water (unless stranded).
Floating leaf shape. the leaf blade is elliptic (widest near the middle and tapering at both ends) the leaf blade is lanceolate (lance-shaped; widest below the middle and tapering at both ends) Underwater leaf blade width 15–58 mm Fruit type (general)
Potamogeton is one of the most important genera in the aquatic environment, especially as food or habitat for aquatic animals (R. R. Haynes 1975). A few species become slightly weedy, but not significantly so. Plants of Potamogeton are important in stabilizing substrates and removing particulate matter from the water column.

Stipular tissue between veins of fibrous stipules decays, leaving strands of fibers, whereas veins and the tissue between them decay in delicate stipules. Many species have oil glands on the stem at the node of submersed leaves. These glands are especially common on species with sessile leaves.
