Hydrocotyle sibthorpioides, a perennial herb found in
common on roadsides or lawns, stems branch well to crawl on the
ground, emerging fibrous roots from nodes, thus making colonies.
Leaves, 1-1.5cm in diameter, are circular, palmately, shallowly
cleft, with bases cordate, margins with 3-5 dentitions, 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. |
