Menyanthaceae
Menyanthaceae is a family of aquatic and wetland plants in the order Asterales. There are approximately 60-70 species in five genera distributed worldwide. The simple or compound leaves arise alternately from a creeping rhizome. In the submersed aquatic genus ''Nymphoides'', leaves are floating and support a lax, umbellate or racemose inflorescence. In other genera the inflorescence is erect and consists of one (e.g., ''Liparophyllum'') to many flowers. The sympetalous, insect-pollinated flowers are five-parted and either yellow or white. The petals are ciliate or adorned with lateral wings. Fruit type is a capsule.
Species of Menyanthaceae are found worldwide. The genera ''Menyanthes'' and ''Nephrophyllidium'' grow only in the northern hemisphere, while ''Liparophyllum'' and ''Villarsia'' occur only in the southern hemisphere. ''Nymphoides'' species have a cosmopolitan distribution.
Menyanthaceae species are of economic importance as ornamental water garden plants, with ''Nymphoides'' being most commonly traded. The practice of growing non-native water plants has led to several species becoming naturalized or invasive.
Dimorphic heterostyly occurs in all genera but ''Liparophyllum''. In addition, four species of ''Nymphoides'' are dioecious.
