Pontederia cordata has a large number of synonyms, at the levels of species, variety, and form (see R. M.
Lowden 1973 for most names
). Almost all these names are based on variations
in leaf shape
, but extensive morphological variation has been observed within single populations and even in individual plants. Study is needed to determine the cause of the extreme leaf base
forms of cuneate on lanceolate blades and cordate on ovate
blades. Variation has also been observed in peduncle pubescence
. A velutinous
peduncle and ovate leaf blade with slightly cuneate base is consistently found among some South American populations, hence recognition there of var. ovalis (Martius) Solms. [source]
The reproductive biology
of Pontederia cordata has been well studied (R. Ornduff 1966; S. D. Price and S. C.
H. Barrett 1982, 1984). It is a tristylous
species, and most populations contain all three morphs
(S. D. Price and S. C. H. Barrett 1982). At least some degree
of self-incompatibility
exists, being strongest with the short-style morphs and weakest with the midstyle morphs (R. Ornduff 1966). [source]
