description_en: Genus of one species of deciduous or semi-evergreen, marginal aquatic perennial from swamps, and lake and stream edges, in temperate regions of the N. hemisphere. C. palustris has glossy, dark green leaves and bears showy spathes, followed by dull red berries. It seldom exceeds 20-24cm (8-10in) in height and is excellent for softening the margins of a small to medium-sized pool. At depths of 5-7cm (2-3in), it spreads through shallow water or mud by creeping rhizomes, which may extend to 15-50cm (6-20in) and thicken to 3cm (1 1/4in) in diameter. Contact with the foliage may aggravate skin allergies.
