Ruppia maritima is an aquatic plant species commonly known as beaked tasselweed, beaked ditchgrass,[citation needed] ditch grass, tassel pondweed and widgeon grass.[2] Despite its scientific name, it is not a marine plant; is perhaps best described as a salt-tolerant freshwater species.[3] The generic name Ruppia was dedicated by Linnaeus to the German botanist Heinrich Bernhard Ruppius (1689–1719) and the specific name (maritima) translates to "of the sea".
