habit
Local in bogs and interdunal boggy pools, lakes, and streams.
A more delicate species in every way than P. natans. The stems of P. oakesianus (at least when dry) are 0.4–0.9 mm thick, while those of P. natans are usually 1 mm or more (0.7–2.5 mm). The submersed leaves and petioles of the floating leaves of P. oakesianus are likewise more delicate on the average than those of P. natans. The petioles in P. oakesianus seem rarely if ever to develop the distinct whitish band at the summit usually characteristic of P. natans.
