Water-clover

Also known as: Pepperworts

Water-clover is a family of aquatic ferns characterized by their rhizomatous growth and unique leaf structure, which resembles a four-leaf clover. These plants thrive in wet, muddy environments, often partially submerged. The adaptive morphology enables water-clover to perform well both in water and in transient wet areas, facilitating efficient nutrient uptake and survival in varying aquatic habitats.
