Marsilea hirsuta is a dwarf clover plant from Australia. A fascinating plant, generally brought with leaves like a 4-leaf clover.

After a transitional duration it develops one of a kind style of leaves, probably one with single leaves like a large Glossostigma, or alternatively develop two, three or four-lobed leaves in different peak (from 2-10cm), depending on growth situations. Whichever shape the plant adopts, it produces runners and spreads hastily around the aquarium.
