duck potato

Patata de pato

Sagittaria lancifolia

The plant is conspicuous for its large, lance-shaped leaves and white three-petaled flowers, found in shallow wetlands. Male flowers are easily distinguished from female due to the dissimilarity between the 25 to 50 yellow stamens of the male and the sphere of green carpels of the female ones.

It is native to the southeastern United States.
