More Plant ID questions

Can anyone ID these? I made a post awhile back but the quality wasn't to great on the pics I took. These long and narrow leaves on this stuff are anywhere from a couple inches to about 1.5ft. It grows in pretty thick bunches all over my wetland.

Also, I think this pic is lizards tail that just hasn't flowered yet. If anyone could confirm I would appreciate it.

Both of these plants are growing in anywhere from a coupe inches to about 1.5ft of water

The one you are holding in picture is swamp dock. Second is lizard’s tail.

Thanks. Any known benefit from the swamp dock for waterfowl other than cover/invertebrates?

My googling turned up that lizards tail is a non-preferred early season woodie food, but nothing about swamp dock.

People who don't kill ducks will be along shortly to tell us how many ducks they kill over one or more of these weeds

All I get are woodies, mergs, and a single flight of bluewings last september

For anyone still looking, true to my username, I got more plant questions....

I am 99.99% certain that these are watershield, but I would appreciate a confirmation.

On the other hand, I have no idea what these pondweeds are. My research turned up Southern Naiad, Coontail, Sago Pondweed, or possibly hydrilla. I am unsure if all of these pictures are the same plant. The stuff was growing in anywhere from 1ft-9ft of water. The stuff growing 9ft deep did not reach the surface. The stuff that did reach the surface would clump in thick brown mats.

Watershield and the thick stuff looks like hornwort

Trying to avoid cluttering the forum with new threads.

I think this is some sort of perennial smartweed, but am unsure. What’s throwing me for a loop is that unlike Pennsylvania smartweed the seeds are white rather than pink.

There are many different smartweeds and that looks to be one. One distinguishing characteristic is the sheathing around the steam at each leaf axis.

[plantquestions]

So by the sheathing you mean a sheath on each individual leaf axis instead of a sheath at the base of a branch?

[Calibogue]

X marks the spot....
