Spiked water milfoil (Myriophyllum spicatum). 1917. Eurasian watermilfoil; Myriophyllum.
Description:
Spiked water milfoil (Myriophyllum spicatum). Found in deep water. Newfoundland to Manitoba and the Northwest Territory, south to Florida, Iowa, Utah, and California. Commonly known as foxtail. Suited to southern ponds of high temperature, and unlike most species will thrive in comparatively soft waters. 'Parrot-feather,' and introduced species of Myriophyllum will make better growth in sterile ground than the foxtail; otherwise the two have similar characteristics.
