Limnobium (living in pools, from the Greek). Hydrocharitaceae. American aquatic herbs, one of which is in the trade.
Stemless plants, spreading by means of runners, the large lvs. floating: monoecious, the fls. arising from spathes borne on the rootstock, the pistillate single from a spathe and the staminate 2—4 from a spathe, all with 6 white segms. or petals, the inner ones being very narrow; stamens in a column, bearing anthers at unequal heights; ovary with several (6-9) locules and as many stigmas, ripening into a many-seeded berry. As defined by some writers, the genus comprises a single species, L. Spongia; others unite with it the dioecious Hydromystria (incl. Trianea), 2 or 3 species of Trop. Amer.
L. stoloniferum, Griseb. (Hydromystria stolonifera, Mey. Trianea bogotensis. Karat.), is more sturdy in habit, of a lighter color—especially in winter—does not make such long runners, and forms more compact and attractive rosettes of lvs. Mex. to Paraguay; Trinidad.
