'''Menyanthaceae''' is a [[family (biology)|family]] of aquatic and wetland plants in the order [[Asterales]].  There are approximately 60-70 species in five [[genus|genera]] distributed worldwide.  The simple or compound [[leaf|leaves]] arise [[phyllotaxis|alternately]] from a creeping [[rhizome]].  In the submersed aquatic genus ''[[Nymphoides]]'', leaves are floating and support a lax, [[umbel]]late or [[raceme|racemose]] [[inflorescence]]. In other genera the inflorescence is erect and consists of one (e.g., ''[[Liparophyllum]]'') to many flowers. The [[sympetalous]], [[entomophily|insect-pollinated]] flowers are five-parted and either yellow or white. The petals are [[ciliate]] or adorned with lateral wings. Fruit type is a [[capsule (fruit)|capsule]].

Species of Menyanthaceae are found worldwide. The genera ''[[Menyanthes]]'' and ''[[Nephrophyllidium]]'' grow only in the northern hemisphere, while ''[[Liparophyllum]]'' and ''[[Villarsia]]'' occur only in the southern hemisphere. ''[[Nymphoides]]'' species have a [[cosmopolitan distribution]].

−
Menyanthaceae species are of economic importance as ornamental water garden plants, with ''[[Nymphoides]]'' being most commonly traded. The practice of growing non-native water plants has led to several species becoming [[naturalisation (biology)|naturalized]] or [[invasive species|invasive]].

−
Dimorphic [[heterostyly]] occurs in all genera but ''[[Liparophyllum]]''.  In addition, four species of ''[[Nymphoides]]'' are [[dioecy|dioecious]].
