Hydrocotyle
Water Pennywort
Hydrocotyles are prostrate, perennial aquatic or semi-aquatic plants. They have long creeping stems that can form dense mats, often in and near water - ponds, lakes, rivers, marshes, and some in coastal areas. They have simple leaves with scalloped edges, with small leafy kidney-shaped or round outgrowth at the base. The flowers are in flat-topped or rounded clusters. Some hydrocotyles are invasive.

From Early Summer TO Early Autumn
