Boasting delicate, clover-like foliage that elegantly extends above the water's surface, this vigorous and oxygenating aquatic plant bears a distinctive appearance, characterised by clusters of leaves divided into four leaflets, lending it a unique four-leafed charm. While its green-leaves dominates, occasional hints of reddish or bronze tones emerge, particularly in well-lit settings. Sporting a creeping and spreading growth habit, Marsilea quadrifolia forms a lush, carpet-like mat with runners generating new plantlets. Potentially invasive, it's advisable to keep this plant potted to manage its exuberant spread.
