|
 |
| Tasmania has
two species of water plantains (Alisma), both naturalised.
These grow either in ponds and slow-flowing rivers or drains, or on
wet, intermittently inundated soils. The plant has a basal tuft of
leaves that consist of a broad lamina (with parallel veins) attached
to the end of a long, erect petiole. The flowers are small, and
occur in a widely spreading branched inflorescence. Superficially they resemble a very
large Plantago. |
