muskgrass
Garlicky aquatic plant
Muskgrass is a freshwater algae that grows submerged in ponds, lakes, and slow streams.
Despite its name and grass-like appearance, it's not a true grass but a green algae with whorled branches.
The name comes from its strong, musky or garlic-like odor when crushed.
Also called stonewort or chara.
