Nitellas

(Nitella spp. (Ag.) Leonhardi)

Nitellas has medium, even-length branches that may have many smaller clusters of branches near the tips of the stems.  Although this plant may form a carpet on the bottom beneath other larger underwater plants, it is often found in deeper water (up to 27 meters deep) where few other plants are present.
