Usage notes
In 2018, genetic analysis reclassified many species formerly included in Echinodorus under the new genus Aquarius genus, leaving only the type species, Echinodorus berteroi species. Many of these species are popular aquarium plants, and the former Echinodorus classifications of plants such as radican sword have remained in common use outside of taxonomy.
