Aponogeton distachyos or Aponogeton distachyum, also known as waterblommetjie, cape-pondweed, waterhawthorn, vleikos and cape pond weed is an edible aquatic flower. It is widely cultivated in South Africa for its edible buds and flowers, used in the recipe waterblommetjiebredie. It is also used as an aquarium and pond plant. It was introduced to Europe in the seventeenth century, and later into other parts of the world. It has escaped into the wild and has become widely naturalised in Australia, and more locally in France and England. In North America it is naturalised in southern and western California.
