Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture

Hydrocleis (water key). Butomaceae. Sometimes spelled Hydrocleys. Water plants, one of which is very useful for summer ponds and for aquaria.

Floating: lvs. broad, ovate to strap-shaped: fls. perfect, mostly large; sepals 3, coriaceous and persistent; petals 3, thin and fugacious; stamens many or numerous, the external sterile: carpels 3, rarely 4 or 6 or even 8, lance-linear, connate at base, gradually attenuate into the style.—The latest monograph (Buchenau, Engler's Pflanzenreieh, hft. 16, 1903) recognizes 3 species, from Brazil. The genus is sometimes united with Limnocharis, from which it differs in having definite rather than many carpels, and the papillose introrse stigmas.
