Common names: Yellow floating heart, fringed water lily
Nymphoides peltata is an aquatic perennial with long, underwater stolons which establishes itself in slow-moving fresh water. It has small yellow flowers and flat leaves. It has invaded our water system and is usually removed annually, but comes back with a vengeance. It is listed in the Plant Collection record as of 2000, but curatorial staff don't know if it was intentionally planted.
