Hydrocotyle sibthorpioides / Chidomegusa チドメグサ

 

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.
