Native Americans used the American Lotus as a source of food.
It is commonly planted in private ponds as a food source for
fish, and for its decorative flowers. It has etablished itself as
a weed in some locations. The Wood Sorrel genus occurs throughout
the world with the exception of the polar regions, and is notable for
the dramatic response its leaves can have to temporary changes in light
intensity. This species is especially diverse in Mexico, Brazil,
and South Africa.
