Limnobium spongia
"American Frog's-Bit"
American frog’s-bit is a Florida native, obligate monocot and member of the Hydrocharitaceae that can be found as either rooted or free floating.
Christopher Taylor from Catalogue of Organisms has does a magnificent job at detailing some characteristic taxonomy of the Hydrocharitaceae in a recent blog post – I very much encourage you to take a look!
To my astonishment, I didn’t have any pictures of Limnobium in my personal collection; this photo was pirated from the University of Florida’s Center for Aquatic and Invasive Plants website here.
