Zannichellia (common name horned pondweed)[2] is a genus of submerged aquatic flowering plant,[3] with threadlike leaves and tiny flowers.[3] It is fully adapted to an aquatic life cycle, including underwater pollination.[2]
There are perhaps five species, including Zannichellia palustris.[4]
The genus is named after Gian Girolamo Zannichelli (1662–1729), Italian botanist.
