Abstract

Sagittaria sagittifolia is annual, edible weeds and emergent aquatic plants. This study focuse on the morphology, reproduction and propagation of S. sagillifolia imported from China. The shape of leaf is different from young and matured. Six shape of young leaf were observed such as oblanceolate, narrow lanceolate, abroad lanceolate, needle-like, cordate and spatulate. This shape were found within 2-6 in young plant. The mature leaf in sagitate or arrowhead in shaped. Sagitate occurs within 1-18 days from rolled young leaf. It has narrowly apices, sagitate base, 16.16 ± 1.09 cm long (from tip to lobes), 1.97 ± 0.10 cm width and parallel venation. The leaf margin is hairless and entire. The arrangement of matured plant is spiral rosette, where the leaflets are tight in circular rings. The petiole is green in colour, with various shaped such as hexagonal, tetragonal and octagonal. The sheath occurs for mature petiole, with light green in colour. The root is white, black or brown colour. A root is spongy and possesses root-hairs. The darker colours of roots are older roots, where it is crumpling. The stolon exist, where it develops new corm. The size of stolon is bigger than root. The corm brown in colour, has elongated beak, 2.89 ± 0.06 cm long, 2.14 ± 0.05 cm wide and scale or sheath. Flowers were not observed during 6 months of present study. Six development stages were determined; (I) corm of S. sagittifolia, which was already sprouted, (2) the existence of shoot, (3) formation of root, (4) the development of new corm, (5) some corm has sprouted even the stolon is still attach to the mother plant and (6) the new plant continues to grow together with the mother plant.
