Description
Marsilea crenata comes from the Asian and Australian tropics. Its emerged form sprouts the "four-leafed clover" leaves typical for clover ferns. Under water it develops into a nice low-growing lawn with small roundish leaves.
New leafes of Marsilea have brown color. Those leafes are not rotten or dead.
Marsilea crenata is a widely-spread water clover distributed in South-East Asia and Australia (Northern Territory, northern and central-eastern Queensland).
