Hydrocotyle vulgaris (Pennywort aquatic)

Hydrocotyle vulgaris, commonly known as Pennywort Aquatic, is a perennial herb native to wetlands and marshes across North America. It has round, glossy green leaves that resemble small, shiny coins hence the common name Pennywort. It forms dense mats across the water's surface, providing cover and food for aquatic wildlife. The plant is typically found in shallow water along the edges of ponds, lakes, and slow-moving streams.
