Wiesneria is a genus in the family Alismataceae. The plant usually lives in natural temporary water pools on lateritic plateaus. Wiesneria triandra was first described in the south of the India n state of Maharashtra. They are well spread out over the regions they occupy and have no common uses, making them of least concern.[1]
The name commemorates the physiologist Julius Wiesner.[2]
