Walton Hall Nature Trail, water weeds

River Water Crowfoot (Ranunculus fluitans) with yellow centred white [RIGHT] is very common along this stretch of the Ouzel. Its dark green submerged leaves have very elongated segments, other closely related species also have 'normal' buttercup like floating leaves. Later in the summer other species such as Arrowhead (Sagittaria sagittifolia), Yellow Water-lily (Nuphar lutea) and Common Duckweed (Lemna minor) become obvious each with their very distinctively shaped leaves.
