A common name for its species is water shield. [4] The family is recognised as distinct in the Angiosperm Phylogeny Group IV system (2016). The family consists of two genera of aquatic plants , Brasenia and Cabomba , totalling six species.
Brasenia is cultivated as a vegetable in China (where it is known as chúncài 莼菜) and where it is used in Hangzhou in the well-known local speciality "West Lake Water Shield Soup" [15] and in Japan. The mucilage it produces has been found to have anti-algal and anti-bacterial properties that may be useful as a natural weed control. [16]
