Id pl. a aquatic plant photographed at Go Green nursery, Karnala
It is Hydrocharis morsus-ranae.
I think this could be the native species Hydrocharis dubia. Leaves of Hydrocharis dubia can be ovate also, like the one seen in ... picture. If I am not wrong, Hydrocharis morsus-ranae has only kidney- shaped leaves.
Not sure though...
I had almost assumed this to be a Hydrocharis, but somehow the leaves did not agrees.
It is actually another plant from the same family: Swamp Lily (Ottelia ovalifolia)

wiki essay says introduced in to India from Mexico
a little searching makes me think it came for fresh water aquarium trade
seems it escaped ... thrown down the drain ...
now the question is
will it be one more of the cross to bear for Indian water ways like the water hyacinth
is there a regulatory agency that allows/ disallows plats imports and widespread introduction??/
is not there a restriction on imports?
