Hygrophila ciliata

A little-documented Hygrophila that the checklist places in the Congo basin, with no wild records to pin down its habitat. Treat it like other tropical African Hygrophila: a marsh or stream-margin herb that wants constant warmth, wet roots and fairly bright light.

Where it grows wild

No wild records exist; Hygrophila species are herbs of swamps, ditches, river margins and seasonally flooded ground, often growing emersed in shallow water.

Unknown; the single climate site is lowland at about 360 m.
