DESCRIPTION:
Burhead is a perennial aquatic broadleaf plant that grows mostly from seed in shallowly
flooded areas, such as irrigation drainage canals and in rice fields where
the stand is thin. Seedlings may be confused
with common waterplantain because their
cotyledons (seed leaves) also float on the water surface. Mature plant is 1 to 2 feet (30
- 60 cm) tall with long, angled
stalks, and has prominent leaves that are somewhat heart-shaped at the base
and blunt at the tip. Flowers have three, widely spaced, white petals and many
ovaries in a spherical cluster.
