Abstract

Potamogeton distinctus has an E. Asian distribution and is closely related toP. nodosus. P. tepperi seems to be a synonym ofP. tricarinatus, even though the name has frequently been applied to other species likeP. distinctus. P. indicus is a synonym ofP. nodosus notwithstanding the fact that not all Indian broad-leaved pondweeds belong to that taxon.
