Ludwigia filiformis

A slender, little-documented primrose-willow from the wet grasslands and marshes of the Brazilian cerrado and the Pantanal fringes. Treat it as an amphibious marsh herb: full sun, wet feet in the rainy season, and a marked dry season in the wild.

Where it grows wild

Nothing species-specific is published beyond herbarium labels; the recorded sites (Brasília, Mato Grosso, Mato Grosso do Sul, Pantanal, eastern Bolivia) suggest seasonally wet grassland, marsh edges and veredas, as for many small South American Ludwigia.

Recorded from 0 to 1120 m, median about 500 m.
