description_en: Genus of 20 species of rhizomatous, herbaceous, submerged aquatic perennials occurring worldwide. They are often found in shallow, still water in lakes and ponds, where they spread rapidly, the leaves forming a floating carpet. Leaves are rounded with heart-shaped bases, or kidney-shaped, and grow from thin, creeping, branched rhizomes. The yellow or white, fringed flowers, resembling miniature water lilies (Nymphaea), are held above the surface of the water. Grow in a wildlife pool with water lilies or Nuphar species. In frost-prone areas, grow tender species in a greenhouse pool or aquarium.
