To a botanist, these types of plants are known as hemiepiphytes. This species is not known to climb to extreme heights and is typically seen at only 3 to 3.5 meters on the side of a host tree (approximately 10 to 11.5 feet). But what the Philodendron lacks in apparent climbing ability, it makes up for with leaf size. Adult specimens of Philodendron maximum are found with leaf blades that are narrowly ovate to sagittate or ovate to triangularly sagittate.

Erinnyis stheno is a moth of the family Sphingidae. It is known from Barbados. It is similar to Erinnyis obscura obscura, but the forewings are shorter and broader and the median black longitudinal streak is replaced by a transverse sagittate pattern in males.
|
|
Anther bases are sharply sagittate, with oblong tips; the ends of the styles manifest a somewhat swollen node, with a cylindrical superior appendage. The smooth brownish fruits are four to five millimeters in diameter, but distinctly ovoid; many pappus bristles are exhibited.

Category:Hills of Victoria Land Category:McMurdo Dry Valleys Flint Ridge, Sagittate Hill, and Noxon Cliff were all named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names, while Dominion Hill was named by the New Zealand Geographic Board. The ridge was named for Lawrence A. Flint, manager of the United States Antarctic Research Program Berg Field Center at McMurdo Station in 1972. A standard United States Geological Survey (USGS) survey tablet stamped "Flint ET 1971–72" was fixed in a rock slab atop this ridge by the USGS Electronic Traverse, 1971–72. Sagittate Hill was named in 1997 from the shape of the hill which is suggestive of an arrowhead, or the characteristic leaf form.

Sagittaria longiloba is a perennial aquatic plant growing from a spherical tuber. The leaves are sagittate, or shaped like arrowheads with two longer, narrower, pointed lobes opposite the shorter tip. The leaf blades are borne on very long petioles. The plant is monoecious, with individuals bearing both male and female flowers.
|
|
The moth flies in one generation from mid-May to August . Larva greyish brown or dark brown; dorsal line paler, with dark irregular edges; a subdorsal row of blackish sagittate (arrowhead shaped) markings; spiracular line darker; head brown with dark speckling. The larvae feed on various herbaceous plants including nettle and dandelion.
|
|
Leaf blades either float on the surface of the water or are submerged beneath it. Petioles are terete (round in cross- section). Leaves are 3-lobed and sagittate (arrow-shaped or V-shaped), the tips of the lobes sometimes rounded. Flowers are green and yellow, in diameter, usually held above the surface of the water.
|
|
Ipomoea aquatica grows in water or on moist soil. Its stems are or longer, rooting at the nodes, and they are hollow and can float. The leaves vary from typically sagittate (arrow head-shaped) to lanceolate, long and broad. The flowers are trumpet-shaped, in diameter, and usually white in colour with a mauve centre.

Salvia tricuspis is an annual or biennial plant that is native to Sichuan, Gansu, Shaanxi, and Shanxi provinces in China, found growing in foothills, riverbanks, streamsides, and grasslands at elevation. S. tricuspis grows on erect stems tall, with lobed triangular-hastate, or sagittate leaves that are long and wide. Inflorescences are 2-4 flowered widely spaced verticillasters. The corolla is yellow and .
|
|
The forewings are reddish brown with a longitudinally-streaked pattern resulting from dark-colored veins and lighter-brown color between the veins. There is a series of black sagittate (arrowhead-shaped) spots on the inner side of the almost straight subterminal line. The hindwings are pale whitish gray with a gray marginal band with an indistinct medial margin. The veins are dark.
|
|
It is quite variable in appearance, and submerged parts of the plant look different from those growing above the surface or on land. In general it is a perennial herb growing from a white or blue-tinged tuber. The leaves are variable in shape, many of them sagittate (arrow-shaped) with two smaller, pointed lobes opposite the tip. The leaf blades are borne on very long petioles.
|

The corolla tube is usually pentagonal and urn-shaped or oblong, with tufts of downward-pointing hairs low down in the tube opposite the lobes. The petals are arranged spirally and practically close the tube. The stamens arise from the base of the corolla. The anthers generally are sagittate at their bases, and bear pollinia.Dyer, R. Allen, “The Genera of Southern African Flowering Plants”.
|
|
There are three anticous fertile stamens, meaning they are on the lower part of the flower, and three posticous infertile stamens, meaning they are on the upper part of the flower. These infertile stamens are termed staminodes. The fertile stamens are dimorphic: the lateral pair have maroon to indigo anthers that measure about long and are elliptic with a base that is sagittate or arrowhead-shaped. Their filaments are about long.

Frequently called arum lilies, they are not closely related to the true lilies Lilium. Plants in closely related Zantedeschia are also called "arum lilies". They are rhizomatous, herbaceous perennial plants growing to 20–60 cm tall, with sagittate (arrowhead-shaped) leaves 10–55 cm long. The flowers are produced in a spadix, surrounded by a 10–40 cm long, distinctively coloured spathe, which may be white, yellow, brown, or purple.

Most Alismataceae are robust perennials, but some may be annual or perennial, depending on water conditions — they are normally perennial in permanent waters, annual in more seasonal conditions but there are exceptions. The stems are corm-like or stoloniferous. Juvenile and submerse leaves are often linear, whilst more mature and emerse leaves can be linear to ovate or even sagittate. Most have a distinct petiole, with a sheathed base.

This species was originally classified by Heinrich Wilhelm Schott as belonging to Urospatha, but it was subsequently reassigned to its own genus Dracontioides by Adolf Engler. The genus is closely related to both Urospatha and Dracontium. The most notable feature of the species its glossy extremely sagittate leaves with oval fenestrations. The leaves are attached to 2 meter long stalks that are intern attached to a spongy rhizome.

Antinephele efulani is a moth of the family Sphingidae. It was described by Benjamin Preston Clark in 1926 and is known from the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Gabon and Cameroon. The costal margin of the forewing upperside is apically shaded with green. There is a mid-brown semi-lunar patch on the outer margin bordered basally by a series of four irregularly sagittate (arrowhead- shaped) bluish-white markings.
|
|
Sometimes the latter name is also applied to members in the closely related genera Caladium, Colocasia (taro), and Alocasia. The leaves of most Xanthosoma species are 40-200 cm long, sagittate (arrowhead-shaped) or subdivided into three or as many as 18 segments. Unlike the leaves of Colocasia, those of Xanthosoma are usually not peltate- the upper v-notch extends into the point of attachment of the leaf petiole to the blade.

They are herbaceous perennial plants with a large corm on or just below the ground surface. The leaves are large to very large, long, with a sagittate shape. The elephant's-ear plant gets its name from the leaves, which are shaped like a large ear or shield. The plant reproduces mostly by means of rhizomes (tubers, corms), but it also produces "clusters of two to five fragrant inflorescences in the leaf axils".

The botanical term "sagittate" simply means arrow shaped. So the leaf blade is both arrow shaped and slightly oval. Adult leaf blades can range in size from as small as 67cm (2.2 feet) but are more commonly 109 to 165cm (3.6 to 5.4 feet) in length according to published statistics. The blades can range from 30 to 82cm (1 to 2.7 feet) in width but unusually large specimens have been measured at 100 cm (almost 3.3 feet) wide.

The staminate flowers are asymmetrical, white to cream to red, the three sepals are short and imbricate, while the three valvate petals are three or four times as long. There are up to twelve stamens, exserted at antithesis, on elongated, slender to wide filaments. The anthers are dorsifixed, linear and basally sagittate; the pollen is monosulcate and elliptic with tectate, reticulate exine. The pistillate flowers are ovoid with three broad, imbricate sepals and as many valvate petals.

Rumex lapponicus is a herbaceous perennial plant with several or a single branched erect stem. Branching in the distal portion of the stem and inflorescence differentiates R. lapponicus from other species of Rumex, namely R. acetosa, of which R. lapponicus was initially mischaracterized as a subspecies. It has stems usually reaching 20-60 centimeters (8-24 inches) high, and broadly ovate, terminally sagittate leaves that are 3–10 cm long and 1–4 cm wide. It is dioecious.

I have seen it in Brazil (Acre), Bolivia (Beni) and most recently in Colombia (Caquetá) but it is obviously pretty widespread. It is huge, in size ranking right up there with Philodendron gigas in Panama." Dr. Croat continued, "The species is well named owing to its very large size, being probably the largest of all Philodendron species in South America. It can be recognized by a combination of its large size, thick, short stems, persistent cataphylls and large sagittate blade with the margins usually sinuate and undulate.

Only one species, the fiery armhook squid (Gonatus pyros), possesses photophores; these are located on the ventral periphery of the eyes. Gonatids typically have muscular, cylindrical bodies with very soft, reddish to purplish-brown skin. The arms are thick and capable; the fins vary in shape and size, from sagittate and about 50% of the mantle length, to reniform and about 30% of the mantle length. Of moderate size, these squid range in size from 11 to 40 cm--most species are 25 cm or less.

Flint Ridge () is a north-south trending ridge with a summit elevation of in the Asgard Range of Victoria Land, Antarctica. On the west side of the ridge is Sagittate Hill, tall and mostly composed of exposed rock. At the south end of the ridge sits Noxon Cliff, which trends east-west and encloses the north flank of Commonwealth Glacier, rising from above the glacier. On the eastern part of the cliff is Dominion Hill, a rounded rock summit rising to about that borders the glacier where it descends southeastward into Taylor Valley.

Male and female are paler and of a uniformly yellower tint than S. casigneta. Forewing with similar markings, the transverse discal series of spots more oblique, touching the lower angle of the cell and terminating in larger spots on middle of posterior margin; one or two spots also within the cell near the base; hindwing paler yellow throughout, spots larger than in S. casigneta. Abdomen crimson, with more or less prominent black dorsal and lateral spots; a small black sagittate streak on middle of thorax. Underside paler, not washed with crimson, markings more distinct.

The large cordate or sagittate leaves grow to a length of 20 to 90 cm on long petioles. Their araceous flowers grow at the end of a short stalk, but are not conspicuous; often hidden behind the leaf petioles. The corms of some species can be processed to make them edible, but the raw plants contain raphid or raphide crystals of calcium oxalate along with other irritants (possibly including proteases) that can numb and swell the tongue and pharynx; they cause difficulty in breathing, and sharp pain in the throat. The lower parts of the plant contain the highest concentrations of the poison.

The forewings are dark brown streaked with whitish on the costa and in the cell, defining two dark brown rays and a spot at the end of the cell. The whitish streaking predominates beyond the cell and defines an outer row of elliptical spots between the veins, the two lower of which are sagittate (arrowhead shaped), being incised in the basal side by whitish loops, the veins terminally and marginal spottings faintly pale. The hindwings are dark brown, a little paler between the veins outwardly.Description of Podalia megalodia in Proceedings of the Entomological Society of Washington.

C. sagittata has creeping rhizomes and eventually can form extensive clusters of plants that may, dependent on location, be up to 30 cm high. The petioles are 7–30 cm long and up to 7 mm wide. The blade of the leaf has a wide arrowhead (sagittate) shape with a retuse or blunt tip, and are between one and four cm long. Each leaf also has two basal lobes which extend as appendages that are about half as long as the main blade, and are almost free, except for a small bridge along the middle vein of the leaf.
|

The ground colour varies from pale whitish grey, through various shades of brown, orange and grey to blackish grey. It can be distinguished from similar species by the more irregular pale subterminal line, concentration of dark sagittate marks proximal to the subterminal line to the area distal to the reniform spot, and other characters of maculation, antenna, and male genitalia. The palest forms occur in xeric areas of Nevada, Arizona and New Mexico and were previously known as P. indra. The most contrastingly marked forms are found in southern Wyoming, Colorado and northern New Mexico and were previously known as P. daviesi.

The single known specimen of P. wayuuorum, ING-0902, was recovered from locality 0315, a by lens of fine grained sandstone in the Cerrejón Formation. The specimen is missing the basal portion of the leaf but shows a smooth margin in the preserved regions of the leaf blade and was either cordate or sagittate. The overall size of the leaf was , and has a vein structure similar to that of Anthurium species that form secondary veins which group in single cluster of veins parallel to the outer margin of the leaf. This secondary vein structure is used to distinguish P. wayuuorum from P. cerrejonense.
|
|
The wingspan is 20-21. The forewings are white, with a dark olive-brown spot in the fold at about one-fourth. A strong bronzy olive ocelloid dorsal spot with white centre at one-third and a sagittate dorsal spot of the same colour at two-thirds, there is also a faint indication of an olivaceous spot a little beyond the end of the cell, preceded by another near its upper angle, and two or three within the margin near the apex of the wing, these are all very faint. The hindwings are broad, with the costa much arched with a long fringe of upstanding scales on the basal half, appearing fawn-brownish beneath.

Robust, annual herb, grows up to 85 cm height. Stem erect, woody at the base, terete, 0.5–3 mm diameter, branched, densely pilose when young, sparsely pilose when mature, round, green gradually turning to deep purple, internodes up to 8 cm long. Leaves strictly cauline, alternate, simple, sessile, 1–5.5 cm x 0.5–2 cm, variable in shape and size, the basal leaves spatulate, lyrate, middle leaves linear oblong, apex subobtuse, upper leaves sagittate, apex acute, margins undulate, dentate, recurved, pigmented with deep purple color; glossy on adaxial side, leaf base auriculate, lobed, upper leaves somewhat clasping at the base, sparsely pilose on both sides with wavy hairs of unequal height. Peduncle up to 23 cm long, solitary or branched, with 1-4 homogamous heads.

The forewings are greyish fawn, crossed beyond the cell by a straight, dark brown transverse line, which runs from the middle of the inner margin to beyond the middle of the costa just before reaching it, at which point it is bent inwardly toward the base. This line is followed by an obscure parallel line of the same colour which extends from the inner margin to a point opposite the end of the cell. This is in turn succeeded by an irregularly curved series of brown sagittate (arrowhead-shaped) markings followed on the outer margin below the apex and near the outer angle by broad, dark brown clouding. The hindwings are similar to the forewings, but crossed by regularly curved transverse median, transverse limbal and transverse submarginal lines, which are somewhat obscure near the costa.
