Distribution en:
Description en: Genus of about 30 species of moisture-loving, hairless perennials from wet meadows, marshland, and shallow water in the N. hemisphere, South Africa, and Australia. Most have alternate, pinnate leaves and bear compound umbels of small, star-shaped white flowers, each with 5 notched petals. They are suitable for damp soil in a bog garden, or for planting as ground cover near a stream or pool. In frost-prone areas, grow tender species in a cool greenhouse. In some species, all parts may cause severe discomfort if ingested; some species are deadly. O. javanica is the exception; it is grown as a vegetable in areas where it grows naturally.
Hardiness en: Fully hardy to frost tender; O. javanica often survives temperatures to -10°C (14°F).
