Potamogeton robbinsii is our most easily recognized species when it is fertile. It is the only species with branched inflorescences. The species, however, occurs in fairly deep water, forming large colonies that essentially cover the substrate. Only rarely do the plants flower. It also is the only species with truly auriculate leaves, the blades forming small lobes projecting past the stem on each side of the stem. Leaf blades of other Potamogeton species may have slightly rounded bases, but no others have lobes that actually protrude past the stem.
The species has a fairly large disjunction; primarily known from the northern part of the flora, it also occurs in the Tensas River area, Baldwin County, Alabama. The Alabama population has been collected on at least two occasions over 40 years, once as recently as 1970.

Potamogeton robbinsii
(

المقدمة من wikipedia EN
Potamogeton robbinsii, commonly known as Robbins' pondweed, is a North American perennial herb. The specific epithet robbinsii is named in honor of James Watson Robbins, the pioneer student of the genus.
It is found in deep to shallow, quiet, often muddy waters of lakes, ponds, and rivers.[1]
Description
The rootstock of Potamogeton robbinsii lacks tubers. The stems root from the lower nodes, and sterile stems are either simple or widely branching and are feather-like, covered with sheathing whitish stipules. The sterile stems measure 10–90 cm (3.9–35.4 in) long. Flowering stems grow up to 2 m (6 ft 7 in) tall. Leaves on the sterile stems are linear, stiff, and grow opposite on the stem, measuring 3–8 mm (0.12–0.31 in) long. Leaves are densely crowded on sterile stems, are auricled at their base, and have a minutely serrated margin. The tip of the fibrous pale stipule is as long or longer than its sheath. Leaves born on flowering stems are remote and reduced, with stipules with shorter tips. The branching inflorescence bears one to twenty-six straight peduncles with stiff and interrupted spikes that grow .7–2 cm (0.28–0.79 in) long. The plant fruits rarely, with flattened fruit that measures 4–5 mm (0.16–0.20 in) long and 2.7–3.3 mm (0.11–0.13 in) wide. The fruit has a prominent keel with an approximately central beak 1 mm (0.039 in) long.[2]
It flowers from August to September.
The plant may form dense colonies that carpet the muddy substrates of riverbottoms and lakebeds. It rarely flowers, but when it does it is very easy to identify, as it is the only Potamogeton species that has branching inflorescences.[3]
