    I believe I have seen this plant being sold in a potted form in one of the LFS, however was suprise to see it (my specimen) on the ground submerged in water near my residence. What plant is it ? Is it terrestrial or aquatic?
    It do looks like some form of Hydrocotyle to me?

    Ermm... which plant? Forgot to attach/link images?

    I'm guessing you're asking about Pennywort. If so, it's Hydrocolyte verticillata, if I'm not wrong (that Pennywort is H. verticillata).


    Update: just saw your updated pictures... that's not what I thought you were asking about. But it does look like some form of Hydrocotyle.

    Why use punctuation? See what a difference it makes:

    Hey sorry for the mistake, has added in the link already.
    Hydrocolyte verticillata? But this fella I plucked up from the little pool of water was quite small , the leave only has a diameter of approx 8mm.
    It creep on the ground with a height of only about 1cm.

    It looks like the indian pennywort (Centella asiatica, see http://www.henriettesherbal.com/pict...siatica-1.htm), which is related to the Hydrocotyles but not an aquatic. you can find them growing wild in shaded spots like underneath roadside trees or the edge of fields and open grassy patches.
