Hydrocotyle sibthorpioides, a
perennial herb commonly found on roadsides or lawns, has stems that
branch well to crawl on the ground, emerging as fibrous roots from
nodes, thus forming colonies. Leaves, 1-1.5cm in diameter, are
circular, palmately shallowly cleft, with cordate bases, 3-5-dentate
margins, and glossy surfaces. Approximately ten small greenish
flowers in clusters set themselves on tips of 0.5-1.2cm-long,
shorter-than-the-leaves peduncles that emerged from axils. Bloom
time: June-October. |
