Cabomba haynesii is a species of aquatic plant in the family Cabombaceae native to the Caribbean, Central America, and South America. [2]
Cabomba haynesii is an aquatic, rhizomatous, long-stemmed herb with both submerged and floating leaves. [3] The pilose, green to red stems with red papillae at the nodes [4] [5] have two vascular bundles. [4] The dissected, oppositely arranged, petiolate, submerged leaves [3] are 0.5-0.9 cm long, and 1.4-1.8 cm wide. The glabrous petiole is 0.5-0.8 mm long. [6]
The pinkish-purple to white, [7] 1–1.5 cm wide flowers with 1.5-1.8 cm long pedicels [6] float on the water surface, or extend beyond it. [3] The base of the petals is auriculate. The flowers have 3 (5) stamens and (1–) 2 (–3) carpels. [7] The oblong to ovoid seeds are 1.8-2.5 mm long, and 1-2 mm wide. [4]
It was first described as Cabomba piauhiensis f. albida Fassett by Norman Carter Fassett in 1953. Later, it was described as the new species Cabomba haynesii Wiersema by John Harry Wiersema in 1989. [8] [2] [3] The type specimen was collected by J. Steiner, C. von Chong, and H. Kennedy [3] [9] in the Chagres River in Gamboa, Panama on the 8th of February 1973. [3]
It has been speculated that Cabomba haynesii may be a result of a hybridisation event involving Cabomba palaeformis and Cabomba furcata . [10]
The specific epithet haynesii honours Robert R. Haynes. [3]
In Brazil, it is found in seasonally flooded lagoons, [5] or in temporary or permanent standing bodies of water. [6] It can occur in slightly brackish water. [7]
The NatureServe conservation status is G5 Secure. [1]
Nymphaeaceae is a family of flowering plants, commonly called water lilies. They live as rhizomatous aquatic herbs in temperate and tropical climates around the world. The family contains five genera with about 70 known species. Water lilies are rooted in soil in bodies of water, with leaves and flowers floating on or rising from the surface. Leaves are oval and heart-shaped in Barclaya. Leaves are round, with a radial notch in Nymphaea and Nuphar, but fully circular in Victoria and Euryale.
Cabomba is an aquatic plant genus, one of two belonging to the family Cabombaceae. It has divided submerged leaves in the shape of a fan and is much favoured by aquarists as an ornamental and oxygenating plant for fish tanks. One species, Cabomba caroliniana, is a nationally declared weed in Australia, where it has choked up waterways after escaping from aquaria.
Cabomba caroliniana, commonly known as Carolina fanwort and various other names, is an aquatic perennial herbaceous plant native to North and South America. Having been a popular aquarium plant, it has been exported around the world, and has become an invasive species in Europe and Australia.
Cabomba furcata is a species of aquatic plant in the water shield family known by the common names red cabomba and forked fanwort. It is native to Central and South America and as far north as Cuba and the tip of Florida. It reaches a maximum height between 30 and 80 centimetres and is up to 8 centimetres (3.1 in) wide. It bears purple flowers.

Nymphaea potamophila is a species of waterlily native to the region spanning from Venezuela to northern Brazil. Additionally, it has been reported to occur in Colombia.
Nymphaea oxypetala is a species of waterlily native to Bolivia, Brazil, Cuba, Ecuador, Paraguay, and Venezuela. It is a remarkable species with excessively acuminate and acute sepals and petals.
