Floating, rootless plants, they have very slender, irregularly branched stems, and bear mostly rounded to ovate leaves in pairs, with a third, finely dissected, root-like, submerged leaf. They are useful for an aquarium, where fish fry can hide in the submerged leaves. In tropical areas, grow in an outdoor pool. In frost-prone areas, grow in an outdoor pool during summer, then lift and store in winter.
