Ludwigia humboldtiana

A little-documented primrose-willow from the uplands of southern Brazil, known from a handful of records around 600 m in Santa Catarina. Like its relatives it is a wetland herb of marshes and stream margins, so treat it as a sunny bog or emersed aquarium plant with a cooler winter.

Where it grows wild

Records come from one upland site in Santa Catarina; nothing species-specific about the habitat is published that we could reach. Ludwigia species there grow in marshes, wet fields and ditch and stream edges, rooted in saturated soil or shallow water.

Recorded at 600–660 m.
