Rhizome present. Cauline stems terete, without spots, to 200 cm; nodal glands absent. Turions absent. Leaves submersed and floating or floating absent, ± spirally arranged. Submersed leaves sessile, lax; stipules persistent, inconspicuous, convolute, free from blade, light brown to reddish, not ligulate, (1.2–)1.5–2.5(–4) cm, not fibrous, not shredding at tip, apex blunt; blade reddish green, oblong-linear to linear-lanceolate, not arcuate, 4.5–18(–25) cm × 5–20 mm, base rounded, without basal lobes, slightly clasping, margins entire, not crispate, apex not hoodlike, obtuse or acute, lacunae in 0–6 rows each side of midvein; veins 7–9. Floating leaves: petioles continuous in color to apex, 0.1–1.2 cm; blade reddish green, elliptic or oblanceolate to obovate or oblong-linear, 4–7(–10) cm × 10–25(–40) mm, base gradually tapering into petiole, apex obtuse or acute; veins (7–)9–13(–15). Inflorescences unbranched, emersed; peduncles not dimorphic, terminal or axillary, erect, cylindric, 3–10(–16) cm; spikes not dimorphic, cylindric, 10–35 mm.

Discussion
Plants of Potamogeton alpinus often are red whenever taken from the water, a feature that makes this species quite distinctive.
Two varieties, Potamogeton alpinus var. tenuifolius and var. subellipticus, have been recognized in North America, based mainly on submersed leaf shape. Plants bearing both leaf types have been observed in the same population; hence the varieties are not recognized.
Four hybrids, Potamogeton alpinus × P. nodosus (= P. ×subobtusus Hagström), P. alpinus × P. gramineus (= P. xnericius Hagström), P. alpinus × P. praelongus (= P. ×griffithii A. Bennett), and P. alpinus × P. perfoliatus (= P. ×prussicus Hagström), have been described.
