Potamogeton tepperi is a water herb, belonging to the Potamogetonaceae family in the order Alismatales.[4]
The species was first described in 1887 by the British botanist, Arthur Bennett,[1][2] from a specimen collected by Frederick Manson Bailey from a pool 500 miles north of Brisbane, and another collected from a river in South Australia by Johann Gottlieb Otto Tepper (who is honoured in the species epithet).[2]
It is an aquatic, rhizomatous perennial herb which has both submerged and floating leaves. The stems are terete and up to 3 m long. Stipules convolute, free from base of leaf blade. Both submerged leaves and floating leaves are petiolate with lanceolate blades. The Inflorescence is a terminal spike up to 5 cm long which emerges above the water. The peduncles are erect, and recurved when fruiting. The fruit is reddish, brownish or green and keeled with a prominent beak. It flowers and fruits in the dry season.[5]
In Australia it has been found in Western Australia, South Australia, and Queensland, in warm and permanent waters.[5]
