pennywort
Creeping wetland plant
Pennywort is any of several low-growing plants with round, coin-shaped leaves.
The name applies to unrelated species across different families—water pennywort grows in wet areas, while navelwort clings to walls and rocks.
Some varieties, particularly Asiatic pennywort, are eaten as salad greens or used in traditional medicine.
