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 Indian 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]
