americana and is a submergent grass. huh
( was complaining to them that the plant they sent was not water celery)


John,

That is the correct botanical name for water celery.

But wait. Water celery could also be Oenanthe javanica.
Guess we should always use botanical names.

the Oenanthe Jaanica is what we use and call water celery
