Alternanthera ficoidea
Alternanthera ficoidea is a type of herb belonging to the Amarathaceae family. It is also known as Alternanthera tenella, and is common and widespread throughout the tropics. It is in fact an endemic herb in the Western Ghats of India. However it is invasive to the island of Palau, and Philippines. The herb has been introduced to Japan, and many other Pacific islands, where they are not invasive. Propagation occurs via seeds.
