<< review queue entry 70871 - submitted by 'richwarm' >> "... or water chestnut" is likely to mislead because "water chestnut" can also refer (or usually refers?) to a different plant. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_chestnut Wp: "The water caltrop is any of three extant species of the genus Trapa: Trapa natans, Trapa bicornis and the endangered Trapa rossica." "This plant should not be confused with the unrelated Eleocharis dulcis, also called a water chestnut. Eleocharis is also an aquatic plant raised for food since ancient times in China. E. dulcis is a sedge, whose round, crisp-fleshed corms are common in Chinese food." |
