Journal Title: International Research Journal of Pharmacy (IRJP) - Year 2012, Vol 3, Issue 4
Abstract
Aquatic angiosperms are very remarkable forms of plant-life and they find a more or less precious footing in pond ecosystem. Paradoxically enough, it is not easy to define aquatic plants, at least in a manner that they may be applied without fear of contradiction; the difficulty comes from the existence of numerous species. Muenscher (1944) considered aquatic plants as those species. Which normally stand in water and grow for at least a part of their life cycle in water6. Similar view has been explained by Reid (1961) who defined water plants as there seeds germinate in either the water phase or the substrate of a body of water and which must spend part of their cycle in water. This biological grouping includes plants which grow completely submerged (except when flowering) as well as variety of emergent types.
