Echinodorus palaefolius has round leaves with a horizontal leaf base. Under water the leaves are narrower and longer. The next leaves will then become shorter and the plant will remain under water. Common as aquarium plants, they grow even larger as emersed pond plants.

Under water, the leaves are spear shaped but once it breaches the surface they become more rounded like other species of Water Hyacinth.

In favourable conditions it forms an amazingly beautiful hyacinth-like flower.
