Hydrophyllum canadense, known as bluntleaf waterleaf, broadleaf waterleaf, or Canada waterleaf, is a flowering plant in the borage family, Boraginaceae. It is native to the eastern United States and Canada.[1][2][3][4]

Hydrophyllum canadense is one of ten species of Hydrophyllum, a genus endemic to North America.[1] It can be distinguished from other Hydrophyllum species across its range by a combination of the following features: perennial, stem leaves palmately lobed, sepals lacking appendages (or less than 0.5 mm in length), and stamens exserted 3–6 mm.[5][6]
