|discussion=<p>Two varieties have been recognized in <i>Callitriche heterophylla</i>, with <i></i>var.<i> bolanderi</i> distinguished on the basis of its schizocarps being larger (for example, N. C. Fassett 1951b); however, the size of the schizocarps overlaps widely, and measurements of schizocarps from throughout North America show that there is no clear geographical or ecological separation between plants with smaller fruit and those with larger fruit. Therefore, there is no justification for maintaining the distinction.</p><!--
--><p>Populations of small plants with linear leaves from parts of Canada and Alaska have been separated as <i>Callitriche</i> anceps. However, these appear to represent the lower extremes of variation in <i>C. heterophylla</i>, and morphological characters do not justify maintaining the distinction.</p>
