Aponogeton madagascariensis (Mirb.) H.Bruggen
- Common Name: Madagascar Laceleaf
- Family: Aponogetonaceae J.G. Agardh
- Country of Origin: Comoros, Madagascar
- Habitat: submerged hydrogeophyte
- Description: Aponogeton madagascariensis, the Madagascar Lace Plant, is a submerged aquatic with naturally occurring holes in its leaf blades. The leaves are like window screen, with a network of veins and photosynthetic tissue, but with gaps in the leaf between the veins. Aquatic plants have more difficulty than terrestrial plants obtaining carbon dioxide, because gas diffusion is much slower in water than in air; the lacy leaves of A. madagascariensis probably are an adaptation to create more surface area for gas exchange.1
