Pogostemon stellatus is an aquatic, perennial, herbaceous flowering plant (angiosperm) from East and Southeast Asia, the Indian Subcontinent, New Guinea, and northern Australia.[2] Because of its extensive geographic distribution, there are many different colors and leaf forms of this plant to be found in the wild.
It is a fairly common, but highly prized and sought-after, decorative and functional species within the aquarium trade and aquascaping hobby. Some of the modern hybrids and cultivars include varieties such as 'Dassen', 'Kimberley', 'Narrowleaf', and 'Octopus'.[3]
