*Oshuna Haines. Water-hyacinth.
A monotypic genus, a floating aquatic herb, native of South America. Often included in Eichhornia and recently proposed to alternatively be merged into a broad Pontederia (Pellegrini, Horn, & Almeida 2018). Haines (2021) resolved that the genus name Piaropus is invalid, and a treatment (as here) which recognizes the "water-hyacinth" as generically distinct from Pontederia and Eichhornia needed a new name, which he provided.
