Najas, the water-nymphs[3] or naiads, is a genus of aquatic plants. It is cosmopolitan in distribution, first described for modern science by Linnaeus in 1753. Until 1997, it was rarely placed in the Hydrocharitaceae,[4][5][6][7] and was often taken as constituting (by itself) the family Najadaceae.[8]
The APG II system, of 2003 (unchanged from the APG system, of 1998), places the genus in family Hydrocharitaceae, in the order Alismatales of the monocots.[7]
An infrageneric classification of two sections is proposed: Section Americanae and sect. Caulinia.[9]
