Abstract
In order to obtain an impression of fruit and seed production in stands of Stratiotes aloides L., 48 stands of this species in seven areas in the Netherlands were studied in 1992 and 1993. In 35 of these stands fruits were found; most of these appeared to be parthenocarpic. In the area of Giethoorn (province of Overijssel), however, most of the stands had many fruits with ripe seeds. Seed production in the female plants appears to be dependent on the presence of male plants in the direct surroundings. Even in the stands with high seed production vegetative recruitment from offsets and turions appears to be much more important for the maintenance of the stand.
