Aquatic, stoloniferous herb. Radical leaves longly petiolate, ovate-cordate, 20-25 mm long. Floriferous stem bearing one oblong, petiolate leaf subtending a raceme. Pedicels paired, bracteolate, with a floral leaf at the base of the raceme, or subtended by an amplexicaule bract. Calyx segments ovate, 3-veined, 3-4 mm long. Lobes of the rosy corolla minutely fimbriate at the margin, scarcely surpassing the calyx, bearded at the base of the stamens. Stigma broadly two-lobed. Fruit unknown.

Dismal Swamp, 15 miles north of Mount Gambier. A small water-plant, near L. geminatum (R.Br.) Griseb., but differs in the pink and shorter corolla, the leaves ovate instead of orbicular, and to some extent in the inflorescence. The specific name is given in allusion to the name of the locality, but the swamp has now been drained to a considerable extent, and consists chiefly of small lakes or marshes, interspersed with woodlands.
