Taxonomic Comments
The epithet is spelled 'maritimum' in some sources, following a treatment of Triglochin as neuter. According to the Flora of North America (vol. 22, 2000), "Although Linnaeus, in his original publication of the name, treated Triglochin as neuter, botanical tradition in North America and elsewhere has generally assigned feminine gender (International Code of Botanical Nomenclature, Art. 62.1); for this reason and because the Greek word glochin ... is feminine (ICBN, Art. 62.2), the feminine gender is the more correct under the Code..." Kartesz (1994) treated the genus as neuter; Kartesz (1999) uses the feminine, and thus the epithet spelling 'maritima.'
