Habitat and Description : Beautiful waterlily endemic of Madagascar, very easy and one of the smallest species of the genus. Ideal for aquarium cultivation. This species is peculiar as it has 2 forms, an emerse one with floating leaves when light conditions are adequate and an underwater one in dark conditions. Both can flower and another weird aspect of this species is that it can flower completely underwater (see pictures).
