Ceratophyllum submersum, commonly known as the soft hornwort or tropical hornwort,[2][3] is a species of Ceratophyllum. It is a submerged, free-floating aquatic plant.[4] It has been reported from Europe, Central Asia, northern Africa, scattered places in tropical Africa, Turkey, Oman, Florida, and the Dominican Republic.[5][6][7][8][9][10] It is similar to the submerged macrophyte Ceratophyllum demersum, a congeneric plant that is found in most regions of the world.[11]
