Persicaria praetermissa leaf3
Native, warm season, perennial herb. Stems are creeping, prostrate to decumbent and slender, with strongly retrorse-strigose hairs. Leaves are hastate, 2.5–8 cm long and 6–17 mm wide,with hairs on veins and margins; ocreas have scattered rather spreading hairs, hairless on upper margin. Flowerheads have 1–6 small, rather isolated clusters borne on 2 or 3 relatively long branches at 5–15 mm intervals; only 1 mature flower per cluster at any one time. Perianth segments are 2.7–4.0 mm long and pink or white. Widespread, but occasional, in eastern Australia, occurring on the coast and Western Slopes. Grows on margins of swamps and lagoons. Not eaten by stock unless desperate.
