Menyanthes (Greek, probably meaning month flower; perhaps because it flowers for about a month). Gentianaceae. Buckbean. Perennial bog-plants. As understood by the older botanists, the genus has two species, one of which is widespread in the U. S., and the other in the Pacific N.W. to Japan, but later botanists separate the latter plant as Nephrophyllidium (N. crista-galli, Gilg). Menyanthes has creeping rootstocks and small, 5-lobed white or purplish fls. in late spring. It is allied to Nymphoides, but the fls. of the latter are not bearded or crested on the face as they are in Menyanthes. Lvs. all alternate, stalked: corolla somewhat funnel- or bell-shaped; stamens inserted on the tube of the corolla; hypogynous glands 5; style long.
