Sagittaria papillosa, the nipplebract arrowhead,[2] is a perennial plant species growing up to 120 centimetres (47 inches) tall. Petioles are triangular in cross-section, the leaf blade very narrowly elliptical to ovate, not lobed. The species is distinguished from others in the genus by having bumps (papillae) resembling nipples on the flower bracts.[3][4]
It is native to the south-central United States (Texas , Oklahoma, Louisiana, Arkansas and Mississippi).[5][3] It grows in wet places such as marshes and the banks of lakes and slow-moving streams.
