Whorled Marsh-Pennywort is an aquatic herb, 4 inches high, native to North
America. It has long creeping stems that often form dense mats, often in
and near ponds, lakes, rivers and marshes. Leaves are round, with the stalk
attached to the middle of the leaf-blade. Flowers are white, arising in
distant whorls on long, leafless flowering stems. Whorled Marsh-Pennywort is
popular as an aquarium plant, but now becoming naturalized in parts of
India.
