Taxonomic Comments

This record represents the narrow concept of Sparganium angustifolium following FNA (vol. 22, 2000). FNA excludes S. emersum and S. acaule material from its concept of S. angustifolium. In contrast, Kartesz (1994, 1999) included both S. emersum and S. acaule in S. angustifolium.
