Where it grows wild

Cerrado Ludwigia grow in sunny wetlands: veredas, marsh edges, seepage slopes and wet campo, where groundwater keeps roots wet through the dry season. This follows the genus and region rather than species-specific accounts.

Recorded at 290 to 1,330 m, median 590 m, on the central Brazilian plateau.
