Aponogeton stuhlmannii

A small tuberous Aponogeton of seasonal pools and wetlands in the savannas of eastern and southern Africa. It grows during the summer rains and dies back to its tuber when the water dries, so a dry, dormant season is part of its cycle.

Where it grows wild

Shallow seasonal pools, vleis and slow wetlands in open savanna, in full sun; it likely survives the dry season as a tuber in the mud. This follows the African tuberous Aponogeton, not species-specific notes.

Recorded at 575–1,080 m (7 records); climate sites range from 575 to 1,764 m.
