description_en: Genus of 9 species of rhizomatous, deciduous, marginal aquatic perennials from temperate regions of the N. hemisphere, southern Africa, and from Australia. Basal rosettes of plantain-like leaves, with long leaf-stalks and elliptic to lance-shaped leaf-blades, are held above the water surface in spring. Whorled, umbel-like panicles of 3-petalled, saucer-shaped, white or pink flowers are borne above the foliage in mid- and late summer. Grow in large groups or drifts at pool margins. A. plantago-aquatica is ideal for a large pond and for naturalizing in a lake.
