Alligatorweed is an emersed plant that grows in a variety of habitats, including dry land, but is usually found in water. It may form sprawling mats over the water or along shorelines. Alligatorweed stems are long-branched and hollow. Leaves are simple, elliptical, and have smooth margins. The leaves are the opposite, meaning they appear as two per stem node. The whitish, papery flowers grow on stalks and appear small and spiky, blooming during the warm summer months.
