Hydrilla verticillata / Kuromo クロモ

 

Hydrilla verticillata is a perennial herb found in ponds or flowing waters. In the autumn, it makes overwintering buds, which sink to the bottom and spend the wintertime. Stems extend in the water and set themselves in whorls of two to six 1-1.5cm long linear ones. It is dioecious of hydrophilous flowers. As mature, male flowers float on the water, letting pollen flow to female flowers' stigmas. Bloom Time: August-October.
