The '''Potamogetonaceae''', commonly referred to as the '''pondweed family''', are an aquatic family of [[monocotyledon]]ous [[flowering plant]]s. The roughly 110 known species are divided over six genera (Christenhusz & Byng 2016 <ref name="Christenhusz-Byng2016">{{cite journal |author1=Christenhusz, M. J. M. |author2=Byng, J. W.  |lastauthoramp=yes | year = 2016 | title = The number of known plants species in the world and its annual increase | journal = Phytotaxa | volume = 261 | pages = 201–217 | url = http://biotaxa.org/Phytotaxa/article/download/phytotaxa.261.3.1/20598 | doi = 10.11646/phytotaxa.261.3.1 | issue = 3 | publisher = Magnolia Press }}</ref>). The largest genus in the family by far is ''[[Potamogeton]]'', which contains about 100 species.
 
 
 
The family has a sub[[cosmopolitan distribution]], and is considered to be one of the most important [[angiosperm]] groups in the aquatic environment because of its use as food and habitat for aquatic animals.<ref name="Haynes">Haynes, R. R. 1975. A revision of North American ''Potamogeton'' subsection Pusilli (Potamogetonaceae). Rhodora 76: 564--64</ref>
 
 
 
==Taxonomy==
 
 
 
The Potamogetonaceae are currently placed in the early diverging monocot order [[Alismatales]] by the Angiosperm Phylogeny Group.<ref name=APGIII2009/> Their concept of the family includes the plants sometimes treated in the separate family [[Zannichelliaceae]], but excludes the genus ''[[Ruppia]]''. So circumscribed, the family currently consists of six genera: ''[[Althenia]]'', ''[[Groenlandia]]'', ''[[Lepilaena]]'', ''[[Potamogeton]]'', ''[[Stuckenia]]'', and ''[[Zannichellia]]'',<ref name="Nunes et al.">Nunes, E.L.P., de Lima, M.C., Coan, A.I., de Chiara Moco, M.C. (2010). Contribution to the embryology of ''Potamogeton'' L. (Alismatales, Potamogetonaceae). Aquatic Botany, 93: 32-38.</ref> totalling about 120 species of perennial [[aquatic plant]]s.

==Characteristics==
 
 
 
The plants are all aquatic [[perennial]] herbs, often with creeping [[rhizome]]s and leafy branches. Their [[leaf]] blades can be either floating or submerged, and their stems are often joined. No [[stomata]] are present on the leaves. The [[flower]]s are tetramerous: the floral formula (sepals; petals; stamens; carpels) is [4;0;4;4]. The flowers have no petals. The [[fruit]] consists of one to four [[drupelet]]s or [[achene]]s.<ref name="Watson and Dallwitz">Watson, L., and Dallwitz, M.J. (1992 onwards).
