Something is spreading across your farm pond, a new lily pad patch appeared in the lake by the cabin, or a tall reed is taking over a drainage ditch. Our aquatic plant identifier names floating, submerged and shoreline plants from a photo, returning the scientific name with a link for further reading. That helps you decide whether it is harmless, helpful for wildlife, or an invasive weed worth reporting.
How It Works
For floating plants, shoot from above to show leaf shape and any notch; for submerged plants, pull a strand out and lay it on a white plate or in a clear glass of water. For emergent plants, photograph the flower or seed head and the base where the leaves meet the stem. The result is the botanical name, which you can check against invasive-species lists.
Key Benefits
- Separates water lilies (leaves floating flat with a slit) from lotus (round leaves held above the water, no slit)
- Helps identify invasives such as water hyacinth, hydrilla and Eurasian watermilfoil early, when they are easier to control
- Tells duckweed from the even smaller watermeal, which need different management
- Useful for choosing native plants when building or restoring a garden pond
- Free in the browser, with one identification per day and no account

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about aquatic plant identifier
Upload a photo of the leaves or flowers, or a strand laid out on a light background if it grows underwater. The tool returns its scientific name so you can check whether it is native or invasive.
Remove a short piece and spread it on a white plate or float it in a clear glass of water. Underwater shots through reflections and murky water rarely show enough detail.
Out of bloom, both have tall, sword-like leaves, but iris leaves grow in a flat fan, while cattail leaves wrap around a round base. Yellow flag iris is toxic, so do not forage shoots based on a photo identification.
Many states and regions ask the public to report species like hydrilla or water hyacinth to a natural resources agency. Also clean boats and trailers so fragments are not carried to the next lake.
Native species like pickerelweed, arrowhead and pondweeds offer food and shelter for insects, amphibians and birds. Look up the identified species to see its role in your region.
