Description
This specimen of Sibthorp's Pennywort is a low-growing, creeping herbaceous plant forming a dense mat of small, round, scalloped green leaves. Numerous slender stems spread across the surface, bearing inconspicuous clusters of tiny flower buds. While not a traditional bonsai, its growth habit is observed here on a textured ground surface.
