I have reservations because: Myriophyllum alpinum has emergent leaves in whorls of 3 or 4 , and are reddish ( Plant net ). I can’t see whorl number clearly but it looks more rather than few ( like 3 ).

Emergent leaves pectinate, consistently whorled and green rather than glaucous or red makes a good case for M.alpinum no? I would expect that species at this location.

Myriophyllum variifolium
