Najas wrightiana is a submersed aquatic herb growing in slow moving streams and ponds. It occurs in sub-tropical and tropical regions of the Americas, and is found in the Big Cypress Swamp in south Florida. Plants are bushy with slender and branched stems; leaves are linear with coarse teeth, opposite or crowded and whorled, with sheathlike bases. Outstanding taxonomic characters are fruit dimensions, seed reticulations, leaf sheaths and teeth along leaf blades.
