Hydrocotyle prolifera, commonly called whorled marshpennywort ,[1] is a species of flowering plant in the ginseng family (Araliaceae). It is native to North America and South America, where it is widespread.[2] In the United States, it is largely restricted to the southeastern and southwestern regions.[3] Its natural habitat is in swamp forests, or in pools of standing water.[2]
Hydrocotyle prolifera is an herbaceous perennial that grows as an emergent aquatic plant. It flowers from May through August.[4] It can be distinguished from the similar looking Hydrocotyle verticillata by its pedicellate flowers and fruits, in contrast to the sessile of subsessile flowers and fruits of H. verticillata.[2]
