Hydrocotyle bonariensis

provided by wikipedia EN

Hydrocotyle bonariensis, the largeleaf pennywort,^[1] once a member of the family Apiaceae, now in the family Araliaceae^[4] and of the genus Hydrocotyle, is a hairless and creeping^[5] perennial.^[6]

Hydrocotyle bonariensis

Description

Flowers: This plant has numerous white^[5] to creamy-yellow^[6] flowers, and the flower stalks can be 30 centimetres (12 in) in height.^[5]
Fruits and reproduction: The stems creep and root at the nodes; the plant spreads by rhizomes. Dollar Weed produces a dry dehiscent fruit that, at maturity, splits into two or more parts each with a single seed.^[6]
Habitat: This plant lives in sandy areas of somewhat extreme conditions: very dry lands that are flooded sometimes.

Community species

Co-dominate species

Imperata brasiliensis
Bacopa monnieri^[8]

Distribution

This species colonizes sandy ground^[5] and disturbed foreshore sites, estuaries, coastline, sand dunes and ponds.^[6] H. bonariensis has also displayed a tendency to prefer, and be stronger at, higher elevations.^[9]
