Coontail is a submersed aquatic plant and can be easily identified by the "raccoon tail" cluster of leaves at the end of the main stalk. It has slender stems and leather-like leaves. Stems are cord-like, flexible, and can grow as large as 11 feet in length. Coontail is called hornwort when it is sold for aquarium decorations. It spreads into ponds after aquariums are dumped into water bodies.
