There are about 30 species of moisture loving, hairless perennials in this genus. They occur from wet meadows, marshland, and shallow water in the Northern Hemisphere, South Africa, and Australia. Most have alternate, pinnate leaves and bear compound umbels of small, star shaped white flowers, each with 5 notched petals. They are suitable for damp soil in a bog garden, or for planting as a groundcover near a stream or pool. In some species, all parts are slightly toxic if ingested, some species are deadly. O. javanica is the exception, it is grown as a leafy vegetable in areas where it grows naturally.<\/p>\n
