Echinodorus cordifolius is a species of aquatic plants<\/span><\/a> in the Alismatales<\/span><\/a>. It is native to <\/span>Mexico<\/span><\/a>, the <\/span>West Indies<\/span><\/a>, <\/span>Central America<\/span><\/a>, <\/span>South America<\/span><\/a> (as far south as <\/span>Paraguay<\/span><\/a>) and the southeastern <\/span>United States<\/span><\/a> (<\/span>Texas<\/span><\/a> to <\/span>Florida<\/span><\/a> and as far north as <\/span>Iowa<\/span><\/a>).[1]<\/span><\/a><\/sup>[2]<\/span><\/a><\/sup><\/span>
\nFound in marshes, swamps and ponds. Blooms in the late summer to early fall.<\/span>
\n<\/span>Herbs<\/span><\/a>, <\/span>perennial<\/span><\/a>, stout, to 100 cm; <\/span>rhizomes<\/span><\/a> present. <\/span>Leaves<\/span><\/a> emersed, submersed leaves mostly absent; petiole 5–6-ridged, 17.5–45 cm; blade with translucent markings distinct lines, ovate to elliptic, 6.5–32 \u00b4 2.5–19.1 cm, base truncate to cordate. <\/span>Inflorescences<\/span><\/a> racemes, of 3–9 whorls, each 3–15-flowered, decumbent to arching, to 62 \u00b4 8–18 cm, often proliferating; peduncles terete, 35\u201356 cm; rachis triangular; bracts distinct, subulate, 10\u201321 mm, coarse, margins coarse; pedicels erect to ascending, 2.1–7.5 cm. <\/span>Flowers<\/span><\/a> to 25 mm wide; sepals spreading, 10\u201312-veined, veins papillate; <\/span>petals<\/span><\/a> not clawed; <\/span>stamens<\/span><\/a> 22; <\/span>anthers<\/span><\/a> versatile; <\/span>pistils<\/span><\/a> 200\u2013250. <\/span>Fruits<\/span><\/a> oblanceolate, plump, 3–4-ribbed, abaxially 1-keeled, 2–3.5 \u00b4 0.9–1.5 mm; glands 3–4; beak terminal,1–1.3 mm. 2n = 22.
\n<\/span>Echinodorus cordifolius<\/i> is very easily recognized, as it is the only species with arching to decumbent inflorescences. In addition, it is the only one with papillate veins on the sepals.<\/span>
\n<\/span>Easily cultivated in neutral to soft water and tropical to sub-tropical temperatures. Rich substrate and good light. Common in the cultivated <\/span>aquarium<\/span><\/a> trade.

\nPlease help ID this plant photographed at Bangalore<\/span> International center. I understand that the white flowers belong to another plant. It would be helpful if you could help ID that plant as well. I could not get photos of the leaves of the white flower plant.<\/p>\n

Thank you.<\/p>\n
\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

I was not able to match it with anything on the Araceae<\/em> page.
\nDo you think it is Calla palustris<\/em>?<\/p>\n

\n

It could be.<\/p>\n

Leaves appear to be slightly different than those on net.<\/span><\/p>\n
\n<\/div>\n
This one is really strange amalgamation of 2 aquatic species the leaves are that of Calla palustris (bog arum), I almost 100% sure given the leaf morphology and aquatic habit. The flower of this species is funnel like spathe, a constant of araceae family.<\/div>\n
The flower attached is that of Sagittaria latifolia<\/em> (Duck potato), but the arrow shaped leaves are no where to\u00a0be seen. My guess is that the rhizome is buried under water\u00a0 and is flowering. It could be Echinodorus<\/em> also.<\/div>\n
As for Echinodorus cordifolius<\/em> the leaf morphology of this South American Amazon species light green with striated throughout. Leaf is unlikely to be that of any Echinodorus.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n
\n<\/div>\n

I agree that the leaves are of Calla palustris<\/em>,<\/span> and the white flowers are of Echinodorus cordifolius<\/em>. Though I tried, I could not find any leaves of Echinodorus cordifolius<\/em>.
\nThank you very much for all the input. As always, very thankful for this group, and for the effort everybody put into correctly identifying plants.<\/p>\n
