Rashida ji Ceratophyllum does not have heterophyllous leaves. These photographs are unique to show both submerged finely dissected leaves and simple entire whorled emergent leaves so characteristic of L. heterophylla. Also the flowers are typical dicot. You can find both single axillary long pedicellate flower as well as terminal group of flowers, true for L. hererophylla.
