“…There have been some mineral analyses of aquatic vascular plants. (Schuette and Hoffman 1921;Harper and Daniel 1934;Nelson 1939;Umeda and Tamaki 1959;Anderson, Brown and Rappleye 1965. ) Physico-chemical characteristics of fresh and saline waters have received considerable attention from limnologists, oceanographers and aquatic biologists.…”

The mineral composition of Myriophyllums spicatum L. (Eurasian water—milfoil) and its aquatic environment were investigated to determine the relationship between ionic contents in the plant and in the water. Systematic samplings were made in several areas. The species was growing in a wide range of environmental situations. Normal—appearing specimens were collected at water temperatures ranging from 0.2 to 30°C. Salinities varied from 0.05 to 16.4 ppt. Each of the estimate collecting sited fluctuated about 7 ppt during the experimental period. The fresh—water pond varied between 0.05 and 0.20ppt. The pH values ranged from 5.8 to 9.5 with alkaline waters predominating at four of the five collecting stations. M. spicatum was capable of regulating salt intake independent of concentrations in the aquatic environment.
