Oxalis aquatica; maybe not, but consider these

I have seen, Nymphoides species, Romulea aquatica, Spiloxene aquatica in 
the wild. Also I have seen Gladiolus tristis doing well in standing water 
in the wild. Narcissus jonquilla can be found in streams  and N. alcarensis 
is in bogs. Most of these are in seasonally wet areas. Crinums, 
Hymenocallis and a few cyrtanthus are also from boggy places. One might 
think about Rhodohypoxis bauerii that grows year round in high altitude 
seepage areas. There are many terrestrial orchids in Africa from seasonal 
swamps.
