Nymphoides indica is a perennial borne in a pond or marsh, its long and narrow stem rooting in the mud on the bottom of the water, and the leaf, orbicular-ovate, 7-20cm in diameter, floating on the water surface. The flower bud emerges from an axil beneath the leaf and opens on the water's surface; the white flower (corolla), measuring approximately 1.5cm across, has a yellow center portion, and the other part has long white hair.
