Elisma (suggested from Alisma). Alismaceae. One species in W. Eu., sometimes grown in water-gardens. It is known also as Alisma (p. 246, Vol. I) but has been separated from that genus because of its floating rather than erect habit, sub-solitary fls., and character of the ovules. E. natans, Buch., is a slender perennial, with the sts. and developed ovate or oblong Lvs. floating: radical Lvs. of the original tuft represented by a lf .-stalk which is only slightly or not at all widened at the top. every succeeding node producing the floating Lvs. and roots: fls. 1-3 or 5, large, white, with 3 broad obtuse petals: carpels forming a globular head, each with many slender ribs: summer.
