Attaching a collage of Ottelia alismoides( DUCK-LETTUCE/WATER PLANTAIN ).
This aquatic plant is known to me from my childhood in a village ( Now in Bangladesh ).We used to call it KEURALI. We used to eat the fruits raw and as cooked vegetable..Today I spoke to my friend ( from the same village now living in a town) about this plant. He told me he has not seen it for many years. We are making the earth poorer each year.

This species is in plenty in Surat ......commonly seen in Irrigation canals and ditches by their side , particularly near the bridges made for village/ agricultural roads .......because that spot tends to be deeper a bit and water stagnates longer even after supply is stopped , facilitating its growth . Ottelia and Potamogeton are two common species in such water courses .
