This weed has a long, slender stalk (about the diameter of a cocktail straw but several feet long) and it comes to the surface and often an inch or 2 above the surface. At the tip is a little button like ending, about the size of a small nail head. The base of the plant, with roots in the sand, is never more than a few inches above the bottom of the lake.
