The Water star is a beautiful fine-leaved, relatively large stem plant from wetlands in tropical Asia and Australia. Pogostemon stellatus, also known as Eusteralis stellata and Dysophylla stellata, is a variable species that also includes broad leaved forms like “Broad Leaf”. One of the narrow-leaf forms is partly labeled as P. stellatus “Strong” but has the same fine submerged foliage as other “normal” P. stellatus.
