Distribution.
Widely distributed in wetlands in tropical South America from Colombia and the Guianas south to northern Argentina but usually in small quantity in scattered populations; also present on the Isla de Juventud [Pinos], Cuba, perhaps an ancient introduction by birds. Characteristic of small streams with moving water in open areas below 500 m.

Note.
Usually easily recognised by the very short sepals combined with the 5-foliolate leaves and relatively large glabrous flower.
••• Clade D (species 379-388) comprises a small clade of entirely American species. All species are herbaceous but show no other obvious common character.
