'''''Hydrocotyle''''' ([[Pennywort]]) is a genus of aquatic or semi-aquatic plants formerly classified in the family [[Apiaceae]], now in the family [[Araliaceae]]. At least two species are now classed as [[List of invasive species|invasive aliens]] following introductions outside of their normal range.
About 75(–100) species: tropical and temperate regions worldwide.
The leaves are generally orbicular, hence the common name.
