Hydrocotyle verticillata, commonly known as whorled pennywort, is a creeping aquatic or semi-aquatic herb in the Apiaceae family. Native to the Americas and widely naturalized in tropical and subtropical regions, it typically grows in wetlands, shallow ponds, and along the edges of slow-moving streams. Recognized for its small, round, whorled leaves and delicate creeping stems, the plant has been used in traditional herbal medicine for its purported diuretic and digestive-supporting properties.
