Hydrocotyle bonariensis, the largeleaf pennywort, [1] once a member of the family Apiaceae, now in the family Araliaceae [4] and of the genus Hydrocotyle , is a hairless and creeping [5] perennial. [6]
This species colonizes sandy ground [5] and disturbed foreshore sites, estuaries, coastline, sand dunes and ponds. [6] H. bonariensis has also displayed a tendency to prefer, and be stronger at, higher elevations. [9]
