Description Hydrocotyle Verticillata, also known as whorled pennywort, whorled marsh pennywort or shield pennywort, is an aquarium plant found in South and North America and the West Indies.

Optimum growth is only achieved in strong light and soft, slightly acidic water. It does not need to be rooted, but can be used as a floating plant.
