How to Know the Aquatic Plants by G. Prescott
A spiral bound dichotomous taxonomic key will lead you to a 1 paragraph description of ~300 plants with (when available) notes on ecological importance. Black & white illustrations are given for many representative species, and the book ends with a pictured glossary and index which includes both Latin & English names.
