Baldellia ranunculoides

Baldellia ranunculoides, commonly known as lesser water-plantain, is a small, aquatic plant that belongs to the Alismataceae family.

It typically inhabits shallow, stagnant, or slow-moving waters such as ponds, ditches, and wetlands. The plant has slender, narrow leaves that grow submerged in the water, with occasional floating leaves. The flowers are small, white, and arranged in loose clusters, blooming during the summer months.

Baldellia ranunculoides prefers nutrient-rich water and can be found in various aquatic environments, though it is generally more common in temperate regions.

It plays an important ecological role by providing habitat and food for aquatic organisms. However, due to habitat destruction, water pollution, and climate change, Baldellia ranunculoides faces threats that could lead to a decline in its populations.
