Background  The Greater Water Parsnip,  Sium latifolium  (Apiaceae), is a marginal aquatic perennial currently endangered in England and consequently the focus of a number of conservation translocation projects. Microsatellite markers were developed for  S. latifolium  to facilitate comparison of genetic diversity and composition between natural and introduced populations.    Results  We selected 65  S. latifolium  microsatellite (MiSeq) sequences and designed primer pairs for these. Primer sets were tested in 32 individuals. We found 15 polymorphic loci that amplified consistently. For the selected 15 loci, the number of alleles per locus ranged from 8 to 17. For all loci,  S. latifolium  individuals displayed up to four alleles indicating polyploidy in this species.    Conclusions  These are the first microsatellite loci developed for  S. latifolium  and each individual displayed 1–4 alleles per locus, suggesting polyploidy in this species. These markers provide a valuable resource in evaluating the population genetic composition of this endangered species and thus will be useful for guiding conservation and future translocations of the species.
