I really love this one, so unusual. It grows only in marshes, ditches and often in water. It's name comes from Greek word "sarus" meaning "lizard" and Latin word " cernuus, meaning "turned toward the earth.

There is only one species of this plant in North American and we're lucky to have it in Texas.
