Ludwigia glandulosa
Ludwigia glandulosa is an amphibious perennial herb from the southeastern United States that grows either emerged or fully submerged in wetlands and ditches. It grows slowly and needs good light and some carbon dioxide, especially in aquarium or pond settings, to stay red-purple rather than fading green.
Ludwigia glandulosa, the small-flowered seedbox or the cylindricfruit primrose-willow, is an amphibious plant from southeast United States. It can grow partially or fully submerged. It grows very slowly and needs carbon dioxide in order to grow well. The leaves of this plant will turn greener if insufficient light is provided.
Ludwigia glandulosa can be found in wetland areas and roadside ditches throughout most of the southern states in North America. It is a threatened species in Indiana and endangered in Maryland. When including these wetland plant species, necessary protections may be restricted to the wetland and a buffer area. However, special precautions beyond the normal 100-foot buffer may be needed in order to protect the plants from invasive species and human activities. It is imperative that recommendations and guidance be done from the Maryland Department of Natural Resources before disturbance occurs.
