Damasonium

Also known as: Thrumwort

Damasonium is a distinct aquatic plant typically found in shallow, still or slow-moving waters. Its star-shaped flowers and uniquely lobed, floating leaves are quite characteristic. These features not only aid in its identification but also adapt damasonium to its watery environment, maximizing sunlight capture and oxygen exchange essential for its survival.
