Nymphoides hydrophylla, also known as crested floating-heart, is an aquatic plant found in tropical Asia. It has heart-shaped floating leaves and delicate white flowers with fringed petals. The plant's stem is edible and is used as a vegetable in Taiwan. Its flowers are gynodioecious and produce a capsule with numerous flat seeds. N. hydrophylla is often sold for ornamental water gardens, but can become a nuisance weed outside of its native range, particularly in Florida. It is able to survive freezing temperatures and has been found in Lake Marion, South Carolina.
