What plants are truly aquatic?

Banana Plant

Nymphoides aquatica (banana plant)
Olive-colored heart-shaped leaves that look superficially like water lily, and banana-like tubers on roots. Plant by sticking the tubers 1/3" in the gravel. Prefers lower temperatures. Throws out floating leaves if light and fertilization is good. This is one of my personal favorites.
