Monochoria (name refers to the one separate stamen). Sometimes misspelled Monocharia. Pontederiaceae. A very few species of rhizomatous herbs allied to Pontederia but differing in the absence of perianth-tube, in erect rather than versatile anthers, and the ovary 3-celled and many-ovuled rather than 1-celled and 1-ovuled. The species are aquatic herbs in the tropics or subtropics of E. Asia, Afr., and Austral., with long radical and short cauline lvs., the blade cordate-ovate or lanceolate: raceme appearing to arise from the petiole of a scape-lf., bearing many blue or violet fls. Probably none is in the trade. M. vaginalis, Presl, of India, bears long-petioled oblong-lanceolate cordate acute lvs. with hollow petioles and is eaten when young as a pot-herb: 2 ft. high: fls. blue. G.W. 11, p. 388.
