jaguar's ear

salvinia biloba

The scientific name of this plant refers to two things. salvinia is in honor of the Italian professor Salvini and biloba refers to two lobes (in Latin), relative to the ears or the turns that the leaf makes.

Floating aquatic herb, it practically has ornamental use. Although it depollutes water, it is necessary to avoid the accumulation of the plant itself (and its consequent decomposition), as it has rapid vegetative propagation.

It also has medicinal uses, but its intense shading in the habitat in which it settles harms other submerged plants and even associated aquatic organisms.
