Centella cordifolia
Centella cordifolia, commonly known as swamp pennywort or arthritis herb, is a trailing perennial herb native to Australia. The species is common in preferred local environments. It potentially has medicinal purposes and indigenous cultural significance. C. cordifolia can be sourced commercially at Australian plant nurseries.
Centella cordifolia is native to Australia, growing in parts of Western Australia, South Australia, New South Wales, Victoria and Tasmania. However, the species has limited records and distribution lacks an extensive understanding.
Centella cordifolia is known to treat rheumatism and arthritis, though widespread adoption and evidence for this is limited. The herb is said to have an indigenous cultural significance, again with limited information available.
