Zusammenfassung:	Seasonal changes in biomass production and morphology of the submersed vascular plant Egeria densa Planchon (Brazilian elodea) were followed in Lake Marion, South Carolina, from march 1980 to May 1981. Biomass maxima occurred in late summer and late fall; these were followed by periods of senescence denoted by biomass loss through sloughing and decay of tips and branches. A period of quiescence was observed in the winter. Rootcrowns and stems containing double nodes were verified as the overwintering and propagative structures.
