Leaf blades either float on the surface of the water or are submerged beneath it. Petioles are terete (round in cross-section). Leaves are 3-lobed and sagittate (arrow-shaped or V-shaped), the tips of the lobes sometimes rounded. Flowers are green and yellow, 2–3 cm (1–1 in) in diameter, usually held above the surface of the water.
The flowers are 5–10 cm diameter, and have 6 to 12 (most often 9) bright yellow petal-like sepals; the true petals are small, hidden near the stamens. Inside the flower from top view anthers can be seen as red and true petals are wedge-shaped and are hidden by the stamens.
