Water Chestnut is an aquatic plant whose submerged stem reaches 12-15 ft in length, anchored into the mud by very fine roots.

The floating leaves have saw-tooth edges and are ovoid or triangular in shape, 2-3 cm long, on inflated leaf stalks 5-9 cm long, which provide added buoyancy for the leafy portion.
