Sign in to saveThe water-plantains (Alismataceae) are a family of flowering plants, comprising 20 genera (17 extant and 3 fossil) and 119 species. The family has a cosmopolitan distribution, with the greatest number of species in temperate regions of the Northern Hemisphere. Most of the species are herbaceous aquatic plants growing in marshes and ponds.
OverviewAI-generated
Alismataceae is a family of plants within the kingdom Plantae. It is classified under the phylum Tracheophyta and the order Alismatales. Taxonomic sources place it in the class Liliopsida or Magnoliopsida. The family is accepted with the authority Vent. and includes species inhabiting brackish and freshwater environments.
Records for Alismataceae are held by institutions such as UCSB, CMN, CAS, RSA, and BRIT. These records originate from the United States, Canada, Mexico, Bolivia, and the Philippines. The family has 768,455 occurrence records, 438 records, and 200 media items in specific databases. Additionally, 406 PubMed entries reference the family.

The water-plantains (Alismataceae) are a family of flowering plants, comprising 20 genera (17 extant and 3 fossil) and 119 species. The family has a cosmopolitan distribution, with the greatest number of species in temperate regions of the Northern Hemisphere. Most of the species are herbaceous aquatic plants growing in marshes and ponds.
==Description== Most Alismataceae are robust perennials, but some may be annual or perennial, depending on water conditions — they are normally perennial in permanent waters, annual in more seasonal conditions but there are exceptions. The stems are corm-like or stoloniferous. Juvenile and submerse leaves are often linear, whilst more mature and emerse leaves can be linear to ovate or even sagittate. Most have a distinct petiole, with a sheathed base.
