Hydrocotyle ranunculoides, known commonly as floating pennywort, or floating marshpennywort, is an aquatic plant in the family Araliaceae. It is native to North and South America.

Origin and invasiveness

[edit]

Water pennywort is an aquatic plant, native to the Americas. Due to its popularity as a pond plant, and subsequent escape into rivers, it has established as an invasive alien species in parts of Europe, Australia, Africa and Japan.[1][2][3] It was one of five aquatic plants which were banned from sale in the UK from April 2014, and was the first prohibition of its kind there.[4] On the other hand, it is in decline in parts of its range in the United States.[5]

In Europe, floating pennywort is included since 2016 in the list of Invasive Alien Species of Union concern (the Union list).[6] This stipulates that this species cannot be imported, cultivated, transported, commercialized, planted, or intentionally released into the environment in the whole of the European Union.[7]

Description

[edit]

Water pennywort has stems that spread horizontally and can float on water.[8] Leaves grow on petioles up to 35 cm long, and are round to kidney-shaped, with 3–7 lobes and crenate to entire margins.[9] Flowers are small, pale greenish white to pale yellow, and come in umbels of 5–13.[8] Fruits are small achenes that can float, helping the seeds to disperse.[8]

The South American weevil Listronotus elongatus lays eggs on and eats the floating pennywort, and larvae also eat into the stems, reducing the pennywort's ability to grow. The weevil has been introduced for biocontrol of the floating pennywort into waterways in Britain, following extensive research to establish that the weevil is not a threat in itself.[10]

from Grokipedia

Hydrocotyle ranunculoides L. f., commonly known as floating or floating marshpennywort, is a herbaceous in the family . It produces long, creeping stems that root at the nodes, supporting rounded, peltate leaves up to 6 cm in diameter with crenate margins and small umbels of tiny white flowers on erect peduncles rising from leaf axils. Native to wetlands across the , from southern through the to Central and , the species thrives in shallow, slow-moving or standing water. Introduced to regions outside its native range via the ornamental aquarium and trade, H. ranunculoides has proliferated aggressively in , , and parts of since the late , primarily through vegetative fragmentation rather than seed. These fragments readily establish new colonies, enabling rapid coverage of surfaces at growth rates exceeding 20 cm per day under optimal conditions. In invaded waterways, it forms dense, continuous mats that persist year-round in temperate climates. The ecological consequences stem from these mats' capacity to block sunlight penetration, thereby suppressing submerged aquatic vegetation and photosynthesis, which in turn depletes dissolved oxygen levels and disrupts food webs for and . Such alterations reduce habitat suitability for , diminish , and exacerbate flooding by impeding water flow, while also hindering recreational and commercial navigation. Economic impacts include substantial costs and losses to fisheries and , estimated at over £25 million annually in parts of . Classified as a species of Union concern under regulations, control efforts emphasize mechanical harvesting, herbicide application, and biological agents like the stem-mining Listronotus elongatus, approved for release in select areas to suppress without broad environmental harm.

Taxonomy

Classification and synonyms

Hydrocotyle ranunculoides is a species in the genus Hydrocotyle within the family Araliaceae, order Apiales. Its taxonomic classification follows the hierarchy: Kingdom Plantae, Phylum Tracheophyta, Class Magnoliopsida, Order Apiales, Family Araliaceae, Genus Hydrocotyle, Species Hydrocotyle ranunculoides L.f.. The species authority is attributed to Carl Linnaeus the Younger (L.f.), who described it in Supplementum Plantarum in 1782. The accepted binomial name is Hydrocotyle ranunculoides L.f., with no . Historical synonyms include Hydrocotyle cymbalarifolia Muhl. ex Elliott, treated as a in North American floras based on morphological overlap and regional distributions. Other names occasionally misapplied or historically confused, such as Hydrocotyle natans and Hydrocotyle batrachioides, reflect nomenclatural revisions but are not currently accepted as synonyms in major databases. Phylogenetic studies confirm placement in rather than , resolving earlier uncertainties from shared apomorphic traits like fruits.

Etymology

The generic name originates from the terms hýdōr (ὕδωρ), denoting "water," and kotýlē (κοτύλη), referring to a "" or "small vessel," reflecting the genus's predominantly aquatic or semi-aquatic and the peltate, cup-shaped leaves characteristic of many species. The specific epithet ranunculoides derives from the Latin genus name (buttercups), combined with the -oides, signifying "resembling" or "similar to," in to the reniform or orbicular shape of H. ranunculoides, which bears superficial resemblance to foliage in the family.

Description

Morphology

Hydrocotyle ranunculoides is a glabrous, stoloniferous with fleshy stems that creep horizontally or float on the surface, rooting adventitiously at the nodes. The stems are terete, pale green to brownish-white, thick, and branched, typically measuring 5-30 cm in length but capable of indefinite extension through vegetative growth. Leaves are alternate, borne on elongate, stout petioles 5-35 cm long, often longer than the leaf blades. The blades are round to reniform, 2-6 cm in diameter, wider than long, with a cordate to truncate base and 3-7 shallow, rounded lobes; margins are crenate with 7-9 teeth per side, and the surface is shiny and glabrous. Basal sheaths or stipules enclose the stem at the petiole base. Inflorescences arise from leaf axils on peduncles 1-5 cm long, shorter than subtending petioles, bearing simple s of 3-20 small flowers. Flowers are white to greenish-white, 1.5-3 mm in diameter, with minute sepals, ovate petals, and short styles; each typically contains 5-12 florets on short pedicels up to 2 mm. Fruits are schizocarps, elliptic to orbicular, 1-3 mm long and wide, glabrous, with obscure dorsal ribs and a thin marginal . The plant exhibits amphibious adaptability, with emergent forms up to 40 cm tall.

Reproduction and life cycle

Hydrocotyle ranunculoides is a aquatic capable of reproducing both vegetatively and sexually, though vegetative predominates in many environments, particularly in introduced temperate regions. The plant forms horizontal stems that root at nodes, enabling rapid clonal growth and the development of dense floating mats. Vegetative reproduction occurs via fragmentation of stems and stolons, where even small pieces containing at least one node can regenerate into independent , facilitating aggressive spread in waterways. This mode allows year-round growth in suitable conditions, with stems extending up to 100 cm or more and producing adventitious roots at internodes. Sexual reproduction involves the production of small, white flowers in umbels during warm months, typically from to in native North American habitats, followed by fruiting shortly thereafter. Flowers are pollinated by , yielding distinctly notched schizocarps approximately 3 mm wide that contain viable seeds capable of dispersal by or animals. However, in non-native temperate areas such as , flowering and viable seed set are infrequent, limiting sexual contributions to population expansion and emphasizing reliance on asexual means. The life cycle begins with establishment from or fragments, progressing through vegetative expansion into mats that persist across seasons in frost-free or mild climates, with dieback possible in colder winters but regrowth from surviving rhizomes or fragments. of occurs under moist, warm conditions, though specific dormancy mechanisms remain understudied; overall, the species exhibits high , adapting growth forms between fully aquatic and semi-terrestrial states.

Native range and ecology

Geographic distribution

Hydrocotyle ranunculoides is native to the , spanning from southwestern in southward through the , , , and into . In , its distribution includes wetlands and aquatic habitats across the contiguous United States east to the Atlantic coast and west to and , with records extending to . The core of its native range centers on the , , and , where it thrives in diverse aquatic environments. While considered native throughout these regions, some analyses point to as the primary origin due to the presence of numerous co-evolved natural enemies there, contrasting with fewer such interactions in . Populations in northern parts of its North American range, such as , represent the species' northernmost extent. In some U.S. areas, native stands have shown declines, potentially due to habitat alterations or other environmental pressures.

Habitat preferences and native interactions

Hydrocotyle ranunculoides preferentially occupies aquatic and semi-aquatic habitats with full sun to partial shade exposure, favoring nutrient-enriched, slow-moving or stagnant waters such as swamps, marshes, , lake margins, backwaters, blackwater , and irrigation ditches. It tolerates mucky soils and shallow depths up to several inches, occasionally extending into swiftly flowing but rarely persisting there. Optimal growth occurs in warm-temperate to subtropical climates with consistent , where it at nodes and forms creeping mats over substrates. In native North, Central, and American ecosystems, H. ranunculoides interacts symbiotically with co-occurring and , often forming patchy rather than dominant mats that allow light penetration and oxygen exchange sufficient for underlying communities. Its proliferation is constrained by specialist herbivores, such as and gastropods, and fungal pathogens that reduce biomass accumulation, maintaining equilibrium with competitors like other and emergent macrophytes. These biotic controls, absent or ineffective in non-native ranges, prevent ecosystem-wide shading or hypoxia, enabling the plant to contribute to structure for and small without supplanting .

Introduction and global spread

Pathways of human introduction

Hydrocotyle ranunculoides was primarily introduced to through the international trade in ornamental aquatic plants, where it was marketed for use in aquariums and garden ponds. In the , the species entered via the aquatic nursery trade during the 1980s, initially as a decorative for still waters. This deliberate importation facilitated its establishment, with subsequent escapes occurring when fragments or whole plants were discarded or washed from private ponds into connected natural waterways. Accidental releases from the aquarium hobbyist sector have also contributed significantly, as the plant's fragments readily regenerate upon disposal into local water bodies. In , for instance, sales under its correct name or synonyms like promoted its availability for indoor and outdoor aquatic setups, leading to unintended propagule transfer. The species' appeal as a low-maintenance, fast-growing in tropical aquaria amplified these pathways, though detailed records outside remain limited. Human-mediated transport via or contaminated transfers has occasionally vectored initial introductions, but these are secondary to ornamental . By the early , such pathways had enabled footholds in multiple European countries, prompting regulatory bans on sales—such as in the UK from 2014 onward—to curb further intentional dissemination.

Established invasive populations

Hydrocotyle ranunculoides has established persistent invasive populations outside its native range in the , primarily through escape from ornamental aquatic trade. These populations thrive in nutrient-rich, slow-flowing or stagnant freshwater systems, forming dense mats that persist and expand vegetatively. In , invasive establishments are widespread, with the species listed as a concern under the EU's Invasive Alien Species Regulation since 2016. It is notably invasive in the , where modern populations expanded rapidly from the 1990s, particularly in lowland and , obstructing waterways. Similar persistent infestations occur in the , (introduced circa 1990, spreading by 1998), , , and , often requiring ongoing management in canals and rivers. In , the first established population was recorded in 1983 in Bannister Creek near Perth, from which it spread to regional waterways, forming extensive covers. Invasive populations in have similarly become problematic in aquatic habitats, mirroring European impacts. Despite control efforts, these non-native populations continue to regenerate from fragments, underscoring their invasiveness in suitable climates.

Ecological and environmental impacts

Effects on aquatic ecosystems

Hydrocotyle ranunculoides forms expansive floating mats that cover water surfaces, reducing light penetration to submerged aquatic vegetation and phytoplankton. This shading inhibits photosynthesis in underlying organisms, leading to declines in primary production and disrupting the base of aquatic food webs. The mats also impede water flow, promoting sediment accumulation and altering channel morphology, which shifts habitat availability for benthic species. These physical alterations contribute to reduced dissolved oxygen levels, particularly during periods of high respiration at night or under dense cover, creating hypoxic conditions that stress or kill and macroinvertebrates. By outcompeting native macrophytes through rapid vegetative spread and resource monopolization, H. ranunculoides decreases overall plant diversity, which cascades to affect herbivorous and predatory aquatic fauna reliant on varied habitats. Studies in invaded European waterways have documented corresponding drops in abundance, with mats altering trophic structures and reducing ecosystem resilience to further stressors. In addition to biotic shifts, the plant's decomposition following dieback events exacerbates oxygen depletion and cycling imbalances, potentially fueling in susceptible systems. Observations from managed and unmanaged sites indicate that unchecked infestations can lead to localized hotspots being converted to monocultures, impairing ecological functions such as filtration and habitat heterogeneity essential for aquatic community stability.

Biodiversity and water quality alterations

The proliferation of Hydrocotyle ranunculoides forms extensive floating mats that severely limit sunlight penetration to submerged aquatic vegetation, resulting in the die-off of native plant species and a reduction in overall macrophyte diversity. These mats create monotypic communities dominated by the invader, outcompeting indigenous flora for space and resources, which diminishes habitat heterogeneity and supports fewer native species. Such alterations extend to faunal communities, as reduced and cover disrupt for macroinvertebrates and threaten rare or scarce aquatic by altering ecological processes. Fish populations are similarly impacted through loss and decreased availability of and as food sources. Regarding water quality, the dense shades the , suppressing by and submerged , which leads to localized upon plant decay and die-off of underlying vegetation. This hypoxic condition impairs the ecological status of affected water bodies under frameworks like the . Accumulated organic matter from the plant further exacerbates oxygen depletion through microbial decomposition, potentially elevating and altering nutrient dynamics in slow-moving waters.

Human uses and economic considerations

Ornamental and traditional applications

is employed in ornamental horticulture, particularly as a floating aquatic plant in ponds and aquariums, where it functions as an oxygenator and contributes to aesthetic landscapes with its coin-shaped leaves and rapid growth. Commercial cultivars, including variegated forms with cream-bordered jade-green leaves, are marketed as hardy marginal plants for pond edges, aiding in nutrient absorption to enhance water quality. In traditional applications, immature leaves of the plant are consumed raw in salads, as a garnish, or cooked by steaming or sautéing, providing a greens option in some regional practices. Anecdotal accounts suggest potential medicinal benefits similar to those attributed to related species like Hydrocotyle asiatica, including treatment of skin ailments such as leprosy and itch, though specific ethnobotanical documentation for H. ranunculoides remains limited and unverified by clinical studies. No peer-reviewed evidence confirms therapeutic efficacy, and consumption or application requires caution due to reports of toxicity in large quantities from related hydrocotyles, potentially causing headache, dizziness, or gastrointestinal distress.

Economic benefits versus invasion costs

Hydrocotyle ranunculoides has limited economic benefits, primarily derived from its historical use as an ornamental aquatic plant in aquariums and ponds, which facilitated its initial introduction to non-native regions such as Europe. This trade generated revenue for nurseries and hobbyists prior to recognition of its invasive potential, though specific figures for ornamental sales are not quantified in available assessments. Experimental applications include its use in wastewater treatment, such as for poultry effluent in Alabama, USA, where it demonstrated nutrient uptake capabilities, potentially offering localized bioremediation value. However, such uses remain niche and have not translated into widespread commercial economic gains. In contrast, the invasion costs of H. ranunculoides substantially outweigh these benefits, encompassing direct control expenditures and indirect damages across invaded areas. In , annual management and impact costs are estimated at £27 million. Across and combined, these costs exceed £25 million per year, driven by mechanical removal, applications, and mitigation of blockages. In the , control efforts by water boards escalated to approximately 1 million EUR annually by 2000, reflecting doubled yearly expenses during the 1990s due to rapid spread. In , , monitoring and control incur several hundred thousand Euros yearly. Indirect economic losses stem from impeded , reduced via disrupted and water sports, harm to commercial fisheries through alteration, and infrastructure risks like pipe blockages in facilities and heightened ing from channel obstruction. These impacts amplify as dense mats form, exacerbating risks and necessitating ongoing interventions, with early detection shown to curb exponential cost increases in case studies. Regulatory bans on its sale in regions like the (Schedule 9, Wildlife and Countryside Act) underscore the net negative economic balance, as former ornamental benefits are now curtailed to prevent further proliferation.

Management and control strategies

Mechanical and chemical methods

Mechanical control methods for Hydrocotyle ranunculoides primarily involve physical removal to eliminate and prevent vegetative from fragments, which can rapidly regenerate into new plants. Hand pulling or raking is effective for small infestations, requiring complete extraction of roots and all fragments to minimize regrowth; incomplete removal often leads to denser reinfestation due to the plant's ability to propagate from small stem or pieces. For larger areas, mechanical excavation using hydraulic rakes, buckets, or aquatic mowers removes substantial mats, but sites must be netted downstream to capture debris and prevent downstream spread via water flow. In the , repeated mechanical removal combined with hand picking four times annually during the growing season (typically April to ) has become standard practice to suppress populations over time. These methods provide immediate reduction in coverage but demand ongoing monitoring, as surviving fragments can lead to resurgence, and they may disturb sediments, potentially releasing nutrients that favor further growth. Chemical control relies on herbicides applied to target the plant's foliage or systemic transport, though efficacy varies due to the species' waxy leaves and rapid growth, which can dilute chemical uptake. The herbicide 2,4-D amine, applied at 4.2 kg per , has demonstrated a 76% reduction in and nearly 100% mortality in treated patches within weeks, making it one of the more reliable options for foliar application in static water bodies. Bispyribac-sodium offers slower control, requiring 4 to 6 weeks for visible effects, but can be tank-mixed with other agents for enhanced results against floating mats. shows limited effectiveness at rates up to 2.16 kg per , attributed to the plant's resistance linked to its thick and runoff in flowing water; higher doses or adjuvants may improve outcomes but risk non-target impacts. Applications must comply with aquatic labeling and timing to avoid drift to desirable vegetation, with follow-up surveys essential as surviving rhizomes can resprout; integrated mechanical follow-up often augments chemical treatments to address regrowth. Environmental considerations include potential toxicity to and , necessitating buffered zones and permits in regulated waters.

Biological controls and recent advancements

Biological control efforts for Hydrocotyle ranunculoides, commonly known as floating , have primarily focused on the introduction of host-specific herbivores from its native South American range. The Listronotus elongatus has emerged as the leading candidate due to its life cycle adapted to the plant: adults feed on leaves and lay eggs at the petiole base, while larvae mine stems and petioles, causing significant damage that weakens plant growth and reduces biomass. This specificity minimizes risks to non-target species, as field and lab tests confirm it does not feed or reproduce on native European . Initial research by CABI identified L. elongatus alongside potential agents like the stem-mining fly Eugaurax floridensis, but the advanced to field trials due to superior in reducing vigor. Pathogen-based options, such as fungal isolates associated with the plant, have been cataloged but remain exploratory without approved releases, as host-range testing prioritizes insects for reliable, self-sustaining suppression. Recent advancements include the first global authorized release of L. elongatus in the in 2022, marking a shift from mechanical methods to integrated biocontrol. In February 2025, the , with CABI support, released the in the Cam Washes to curb infestations without habitat disturbance, leveraging the insect's evolution for low risks. By September 2025, similar releases occurred in the , targeting persistent aquatic invasions and demonstrating scalability across . Ongoing monitoring assesses rates, with early indicating reduced regrowth in sites compared to untreated areas. These developments underscore biocontrol's potential for long-term management, though full population-level impacts require multi-year evaluation.
