Several clumps, not covering too much of the surface area

When counting waterlilies, is each group a single plant or is each leaf separate?

Good question Ryu, and difficult to answer. Waterlilies and many other aquatic plants have multiple leaves, coming to a common point underwater and difficult to distinguish, making their numbers difficult to count. Perhaps an estimate of the number of clumps or a note in the discussion notes about the area of water surface covered by plants.
