"Vallisneria americana" is a plant in the family Hydrocharitaceae, the "tape-grasses". "V. americana" is a fresh water species that can tolerate salt, living in salinities varying from fresh water to 18 parts per thousand, although the limit to the salt tolerance is unclear, and is generally dependent on the duration and intensity of the plants’ exposure to the saline water.
