riverweed

Podostemaceae

Podostemaceae is a family in the order Malpighiales. It comprises about 50 genera and 250 species of more or less thalloid aquatic herbs. Flowering riverweed in the Dordogne river Riverweeds adhere to hard surfaces in rapids and waterfalls of rivers. They are found mostly in tropical and subtropical areas world-wide. Many species are found in a very small geographic area. Riverweeds are submerged when water levels are high, but during the dry season they live a terrestrial existence, flowering at this time. Their root anatomy is specialized for the purpose of clinging to rocks, and in fact details of the root structure are one of the ways of classifying riverweeds. The Podostemaceae are related to the families Clusiaceae, Hypericaceae, and Bonnetiaceae.
