Plants rooting or floating, the sts. spongy and air- bearing, the peduncles hollow and erect: lvs. submersed and dissected, passing into entire narrow whorled bracts: fls. white or purplish, whorled and racemose, emersed; corolla salverform, with 5-parted limb; ovary free: fr. a globular more or less 5 valved many-seeded caps.—The European species is procurable from dealers in aquatics; the American can be gathered in shallow, stagnant ponds from Mass, to W. N. Y. and south to Fla. and La.
