+'''''Nymphoides''''' is a [[genus]] of aquatic [[flowering plant]]s in the family [[Menyanthaceae]]. The genus name refers to their resemblance to the water lily ''[[Nymphaea]]''. ''Nymphoides'' are aquatic plants with submerged roots and floating [[Leaf|leaves]] that hold the small [[flower]]s above the water surface. [[Flower]]s are [[sympetalous]], most often divided into five lobes (petals). The petals are either yellow or white, and may be adorned with lateral wings or covered in small hairs. The [[inflorescence]] consists of either an [[umbel]]late cluster of flowers or a lax [[raceme]], with [[internode (botany)|internode]]s occurring between generally paired flowers.
+
+Species of ''Nymphoides'' are sold as aquarium plants, including the "banana plant", ''[[Nymphoides aquatica|N. aquatica]]'' and the "water snowflake", ''[[Nymphoides indica|N. indica]]''. Species native to the United States are ''[[Nymphoides cordata|N. cordata]]'' in the northeast and ''[[Nymphoides aquatica|N. aquatica]]'' in the southeast. ''[[Nymphoides peltata]]'' is native to Europe and Asia, but can be found in the United States as an [[invasive species|invasive]] aquatic weed. The non-native species ''[[Nymphoides cristata|N. cristata]]'' and ''[[Nymphoides indica|N. indica]]'' also reportedly occur in Florida (Jacono 2000).
+
+Numerous species of ''Nymphoides'' grow in Australia, and others exist in Africa, America, and Asia.
