Ludwigia repens, also known as creeping primrose-willow, is a flowering plant in the evening primrose family. It is native to parts of the Americas and can easily spread and become naturalized in many areas. In some regions, it is considered an aquatic weed. However, it is also grown as an aquarium plant. This perennial herb has a creeping stem that can reach up to 30 centimeters in length and roots at nodes that come into contact with wet substrate. Its leaves are arranged oppositely and can grow up to 4 or 5 centimeters long. The flower has four small yellow petals and four pointed sepals.
