Alisma lanceolatum, commonly known as narrow-leaved water plantain or water plantain, is a species of aquatic plant belonging to the Alismataceae family.
It grows in damp areas, along riverbanks, in ponds, irrigation ditches and flooded land.
Its leaves emerge from the base and are characterised by a distinctly lanceolate (spear-shaped) form, which distinguishes it from other similar species within its genus that have more rounded or elliptical leaves.
It produces an erect, branched inflorescence with small, three-petalled flowers, usually white or pale pink in colour.
It is native to Europe, North Africa and the temperate regions of Asia. It has also become naturalised in other parts of the world, such as Australia and North America.
