Views of young American waterplantains (Alisma plantago-aquatica L. in the waterplantain family, Alismataceae) growing in nursery containers inside a greenhouse. This species is a deciduous perennial with strikingly long leaf stalks. The macrophyte can grow in water up to 6 inches (15 centimeters) deep, can grow up to 30 inches (75 centimeters) tall, with a spread of 18 inches (45 centimeters). This species can be used in constructed wetlands for wastewater treatment. (Photographs by Jo-Shing Yang)
