Peltandra (Greek, referring to the peltate anthers). Araceae. Arrow Arum. Stemless herbs, being excellent subaquatic plants, their large thick sagittate leaves always adding variety and interest to margins of ponds and to bog-gardens. Leaves glossy, arrow-shaped, arising from strong underground parts: fls. monoecious and naked, the staminate ones on the upper part of the long spadix, the anthers sessile and imbedded and opening by terminal pores, the 1-loculed ovaries attended bv 4 or 5 scale- like bodies or st aminodia: spathe usually exceeding the spadix: fr. a 1- 3-seeded, mostly leathery berry, borne in large globose clusters. — Two species in E. Amer. which have been much confused. Single specimens or clumps are usually most prized. Peltandras are easy to colonize. ^CH The above text is from the Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture.
