jopozorra
Spanish to English
Science
Environment & Ecology
Las Tablas de Daimiel NP - Spain
Sumergidas en el agua encontramos praderas de ovas, formaciones de algas filamentosas o rabazones, y la ***jopozorra***. Las lentejas de agua y los ranúnculos tienen hojas que flotan sobre el agua. Los plantas con tallos emergentes enraizadas en el agua, dominan el paisaje: la masiega, el carrizo, la enea y la castañuela forman este grupo. Alrededor de las tablas, en zonas no inundadas, aparecen diferentes especies de juncos. Los suelos húmedos, un poco salinos, son el hábitat del taray. En suelos muy salinos, encontramos por matas de limonios. Y en las zonas donde pasta el ganado aparecen especies nitrófilas como el calamino.
I am not sure what this plant is - any ideas? This is an extract from a text on the Tablas de Daimiel National Park in Spain.
Many thanks in advance,
Sheila

It is just a guess i'm afraid, but from breaking the word down into Jopo and Zorra, gives Goxtail, which on a Google search does indeed come up as a type of plant. See http://davesgarden.com/pf/go/31438/ or http://plants.usda.gov/cgi_bin/topics.cgi?earl=plant_profile... for description of the plant, that you may be able to compare to the text?
Hope that helps a bit!!

Comment: "Many thanks for your help. In the end though, I found the answer myself. In the Tablas de Daimiel, the 'jopozorras' are:
soft hornwort (Ceratophyllum submersum) and rigid hornwort (Ceratophyllum demersum)
"

soft hornwort
Very belated answer, but for anyone looking for this term in te future...
According to the first site listed below (and various others), the Latin name for "jopozorra" is Ceratophyllum submersum, which wikipedia lists in English as "soft hornwort".
