Menyanthes is a unique genus of flowering plants in the Menyanthaceae family, consisting of only one species, Menyanthes trifoliata. This species, also known as bogbean or buckbean, has a horizontal rhizome and trifoliate leaves, with an erect raceme of white flowers. It is found in fens and bogs in Asia, Europe, and North America, where it is considered a diagnostic fen species. The name Menyanthes comes from Greek words meaning "disclosing flower", referring to the sequential opening of its flowers. Fossil records show that this plant has existed since the Middle Miocene period. In the United States, it is a protected species. The rootstock of Menyanthes trifoliata can be ground into a flour for emergency use, and its strong and bitter taste is used in schnapps. In China, it is known as "Sleeping herbs" and has been used to treat insomnia and restlessness.
