Rhizomes absent. Cauline stems slightly compressed, without spots, 35–90 cm; glands yellow-green to gold, 0.2–1 mm diam. Turions terminal, abundant, 3.5–7.8 cm × 2.3–5.1 mm, soft; leaves ± 2-ranked; outer leaves 3–4 per side, base not corrugate, apex apiculate to obtuse; inner leaves undifferentiated. Leaves submersed, ± spirally arranged, sessile, flaccid; stipules persistent, inconspicuous, convolute, free from blade, white, not ligulate, 0.6–1.8 cm, fibrous, rarely shredding at tip, apex obtuse; blade light green to somewhat reddish, linear, not arcuate, 3–8.2 cm × 1–3.5 mm, base slightly tapering, without basal lobes, not clasping, margins entire, not crispate, apex not hoodlike, obtuse or round-apiculate, lacunae in 1–3 rows each side of midrib; veins 3. Inflorescences unbranched, emersed; peduncles not dimorphic, axillary, erect, rarely recurved, cylindric, 0.8–1.9(–4.2) cm; spike not dimorphic, cylindric, 8–13 mm.

Discussion
Potamogeton obtusifolius is a distinctive linear-leaved species with the leaf blades round at the apex, especially when fruiting inflorescences 5–7 mm wide are present. This is unusually wide for one of the linear-leaved species.
Two hybrids, Potamogeton obtusifolius × P. pusillus (= P. × saxonicus Hagström) and P. friesii × obtusifolius (= P. × semifructus A. Bennett ex Ascherson & Graebner), have been described.
