Damasonium (Alismataceae) 4b:6    
Tasmania has one native species of Damasonium (Damasonium  minus). This is a rooted aquatic with leaves on long petioles. The leaf laminas have 3-5 parallel main veins, are quite broad (~5cm by ~2cm), and often float on top of the water. The flowers are small, white on the inside and carried in a widely branched inflorescence that stands above the water.
