In its normal tropical habitat, the water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes Solms-Laub.) is a noxious weed that chokes waterways; in warm temperate regions it is grown as an ornamental in garden ponds.
Some Pontederia L. species are also grown as ornamentals away from their natural range in North America (Hunt 1968/9).
In India, Bhalme and Pasricha (1986) observed positive patch test reactions to the crushed plant material in 3 individuals; no reaction was observed in 7 other subjects.

Like the bur-reeds (Sparganium spp.), pickerelweed (Pontederia cordata), and wild celery (Vallisneria americana), the arrowheads produce submerged rosettes of ribbon-like leaves that can be distinguished from the other genera by their venation (Figure 12).
ECOLOGICAL NOTES: Broad-leaved arrowhead is a nonpersistent emergent found in shallow water and on saturated soils of marshes, shrub swamps, wooded swamps, open bogs, and stream and lake margins.
