Identify a plant
I am looking at my plant book and came across this one. Sounds like the
plant you have. Here is what the book said. Ludwigia repens water primrose family : Onagracae range : tropical n. America and c. America appearance : Stem plant, about 20 in (50 cm) tall. Leaves decus-sate, short-stemmed, roundish to broad-ovate; upper side olivegreen, underside reddish to deep red/purple. Color is dependant on light, in week light the plant remains pale. In emersed culture, small flowers with yellow petals may form. care : Tolerates coolish water better than overly warm, needs nutrient rich bottom and regular additions of fertilizer after every water change. Branches prolificly, so be sure to leave enough room at the sides when planting. Light : 50 w per 25 g (100L) water : 68* - 86*F (20 -30 C) 2* - 15 * dCH; pH 5.5 - 7.5 propagation : by cuttings placement : use in groups in the middle and along the sides. Hope this helped. Vicki |

The pictures of Ludwigia repens that I can find on the net do not look much like my plant, although in some cases I see some similarities. I took some pictures of the plant in question.
