Family Hippuridaceae - Hippuris
Mares Tail Aquatic Plant

Hippurus vulgaris

Narrative

Hippurus family contains a single genus of plants. Although some botanists believe there is only species involved, most botanists now believe that there are three different species in this family: H. montana, H. tetraphylla, and H. vulgaris. All three species are found in North America and H. vulgaris is now naturalized in the Old World. There is no universal agreement regarding the proper placement of this family.
