The Common Water-plantain (Alisma plantago-aquatica), also known as Mad-dog weed, is a
flowering plant native to most of the
Northern Hemisphere, in
Europe, northern
Asia, and
North America. It grows in shallow water, and consists of a fibrous
root, several basal
leaves 15-30 cm long, and a triangular
stem up to 1 m tall, with a branched
inflorescence bearing numerous small
flowers with three round or slightly jagged, white or pale purple, petals.
