A genus of aquatic plants with broad leaves and white or pinkish flowers, commonly called water plantain.
From Greek 'alisma' or 'alism,' an ancient name for water plants. The exact Greek root is uncertain but refers to marsh-dwelling plants in Mediterranean regions.
Alisma plants thrive in shallow water where they create crucial nurseries for fish and insects—they're ecosystem engineers that clean water by absorbing excess nutrients that cause algae blooms.
