Damasonium alisma

Damasonium alisma is a species of flowering marsh plant known by the common name of starfruit. Its native range includes parts of Great Britain, France, Portugal, Spain, Italy, Greece, Russia, Ukraine, Moldova, and Kazakhstan.[1][2]

Damasonium alisma is native to the British Isles and was at one time commonly found in south and central England.[3] Numbers have declined as a result of the loss of pond habitats.[4] It was not recorded in the wild in 2006 and is classified as endangered within the United Kingdom.[5]
