(Redirected from Lesser Water-plantain)
'''Baldellia''' is a genus of aquatic plants commonly known as 'lesser water-plantains'. ''Baldellia'' is very close to ''Echinodorus'' botanically and may be included in that genus after further investigations.
Leaves aerial, elliptical to lanceolate or linear-lanceolate. Flowers hermaphrodite, in 1 - 3 whorls in umbels or racemes, or long-pedunculate in leaf-axils. Stamens 6. Carpels numerous, spirally arranged in a globose head, free, each with 1 ovule; styles apical. Fruitlets achenial, longitudinally 5-ribbed (3 dorsal ribs and 2 closely approximated ventral ribs), with a short, apical beak. 2n=16.
Variable in form according to ecological conditions.
