Mecardonia procumbens syn. Bacopa procumbens (Baby Jump-up)

Description

I found this low growing native groundcover on the edge of a parking lot in Jasper Co., SC in 2016. On June 2017, I found out that it had never been reported northeast of Florida. It was growing in compacted soil and had surely been walked on and mown many times.Plant it in your garden to keep this native species from disappearing. Help mefind out how it grows in the garden, and how the butterflies, bees, and other wildlife use it. Thank you!

(Below are some notes from the internet that I had pasted here…to compose later.)

used by Native Nahua People in Mexico and Central America to treat abscesses and other skin problems. Native to AL, AZ, LA, FL, and SC LAAL , AZ , FL , LA , NM , TX
