Fig 1 - Morphological variations in southern African populations of Myriophyllum spicatum: Phenotypic plasticity or local adaptation?

The three morphological variations of Myriophyllum spicatum found in southern Africa as recorded by herbarium specimens (A–C) and present day photographic representations of living specimens (D–F). The first A & D: robust large leaf form collected from the Vaal River, Northern Cape, the second B & E: delicate branched form collected in Lake Sibaya, KwaZulu-Natal and the third C & F: the large growth form with very short internode lengths giving it a bottlebrush appearance, the herbarium specimen collected in the Mooi River, KwaZulu-Natal Midlands and the living specimen collected in Hogsback, Eastern Cape.
