Rorippa Palustris Var. Africana

Rorippa palustris var. africana is a lesser-known aquatic plant native to the wetlands of Africa. It thrives in shallow waters and moist soils, often found along the edges of ponds and streams. This variant is closely related to its more widely studied relatives but remains underdocumented in botanical literature. Its simple, lance-shaped leaves and small white flowers make it a subtle yet resilient member of the Brassicaceae family. Despite its modest appearance, it plays an important role in maintaining aquatic ecosystems.
