#aponogetonaceae
- Aponogeton — The sole genus of aquatic plants in the monocotyledonous family Aponogetonaceae, native to the tropical and subtropical regions of Africa, Asia, and Australasia, characterized by submerged rhizomes or tubers and spike-like inflorescences raised above the water surface. Many species are highly prized in aquaristics due to the exquisite decorative appearance of their crinkled, wavy, or lace-like submerged leaves.
- Aponogeton crispus — A species of perennial aquatic plant in the genus Aponogeton, native to the wetlands and streams of Sri Lanka, characterized by translucent, light-green or brownish submerged leaves with heavily wavy and crinkled margins; widely used in freshwater aquaristics. It is prized for its relatively high adaptability in aquariums compared to other species in the family, developing solitary white or yellowish spike-like inflorescences that rise above the water surface.
