Limnophila is a genus of flowering plants in the family Plantaginaceae.

It is distributed in tropical and subtropical regions of Africa, Asia, Australia, and the Pacific Islands.

Plants of the genus vary in form, from erect to prostrate, and with branching or unbranched stems.

The leaves are lance-shaped or pinnate, and the blades have smooth or serrated edges.

[2] Cabomba caroliniana, a plant in a different family, is noted for having leaves that resemble those of Limnophila.
