Flat, strap-like leaves 2-4mm wide Rounded, smooth leaf tip Smooth rhizome Scars from well-developed leaf sheaths form a continuous ring around the stem Found on shallow reef flats | Cymodocea rotundata (CR) |
Linear strap-like leaves, 5-9mm wide Serrated leaf tipLeaf sheath is broadly triangular with a narrow base Leaf scars do not form a continuous ring around the stemFound on shallow subtidal reef flats and sand banks | Cymodocea serrulata (CS) |
Very long ribbon-like leaves 30-150 cm longLeaves with inrolled leaf marginsThick rhizome with long black bristles and cord-like rootsFound on shallow/intertidal sand/mud banks (often adjacent to mangrove forests) | Enhalus acoroides (EA) |
Fine, delicate leaves up to 20cm long1 central veinBlack central vein splits into two at the rounded leaf tipUsually pale rhizome, with clean black leaf scarsFound on intertidal sand banks | Halodule pinifolia (HP) |
Usually larger than Halodule pinifoliaTrident leaf tip1 central longitudinal veinRhizome usually pale ivory, with clean black leaf scarsDugong preferred foodFound on shallow/intertidal sand or mud banks | Halodule uninervis (HU) |
Small oval leaves that are hairy on one sideCentral vein on leaf with 9-14 cross veinsUsually found deeper than 10m in coral environments proximal to coral reefsOnly found in subtidal Australian waters (>10m) proximal to coral reefs | Halophila capricorni (HC) |
Small oval leaf blade 1-2.5cm long6-8 cross veinsLeaf hairs on both sidesLeaves usually longer than widerFound at subtidal depths (>10m) | Halophila decipiens (HD) |
