 Coontail (Ceratophyllum demersum) -A native aquatic plant in Washington
Coontail (Ceratophyllum demersum) is a completely submersed plant commonly seen in Washington lakes with moderate to high nutrient levels.
The Latin name Ceratophyllum pertains to the horned leaf edges - Cerato derives from the Greek word "keras" (horn, as in rhinoceros).
The serrated, forked leaves of coontail are arranged on the stems in whorls, with usually 5-12 leaves in each whorl.
