description_en: Genus of 2 species of evergreen and deciduous aquatic annuals and perennials, found in the shallow margins of tropical pools in S.E. Asia, South America, and the West Indies. They produce rosettes of lance-shaped to ovate leaves, and umbels of saucer-shaped yellow flowers. In areas where temperatures fall below 10°C (50°F), grow in an indoor pool. In mild, temperate areas, use for temporary summer planting around an outdoor pool; in warmer climates grow permanently outdoors. They self-seed freely, the stems that bear the seed capsules bending over to water level, where each throws up another shoot.
