Hydrocotyle bonariensis:

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



Description[edit]

Flowers
Numerous white[5] to creamy yellow[6] flowers, flower stalks can be 30 centimetres (12 in).[5]
Fruits and reproduction
Stems creep and root at the nodes and spreads by rhizomes. Produces a dry dehiscent fruit that at maturity splits two or more parts each with a single seed.[6]
Habitat
Lives in sandy areas of somewhat extreme conditions, very dry lands that are flooded sometimes.
Community species
Co-dominate species

Distribution[edit]

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]
