Abstract
Myriophyllum ussuriense has been described as dioecious but monoecious plan ts were newly found from some populations in south-western Japan. Sex expre ssion of monoecious plants proved labile and they sometimes bore male or fe male flowers alone. On the other hand, sex expression of dioecious plants w as stable and seemed to be fixed genetically. M. ussuriense may be still in the course of differentiation from monoecy to dioecy.
