This plant has several synonyms that are used interchangeably in scientific literature, including curly-leaf pondweed, crisp pondweed, and wrinkle-leaf pondweed. The plant gets its name from its curly and wrinkled leaves that taper to a point, giving it a distinctive appearance.

Variously-leaved pondweed serves as an important source of food for aquatic animals and plays a critical role in maintaining a healthy ecosystem.
