It is also known as the Asiatic pennywort or Indian pennywort in English, among various other names in other languages.
==Description==
Centella grows in tropical swampy areas.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title= Comprehensive Guide to Gotu Kola (''Centella asiatica'') )〕 The stems are slender, creeping stolons, green to reddish-green in color, connecting plants to each other. It has long-stalked, green, rounded apices which have smooth texture with palmately netted veins. The leaves are borne on pericladial petioles, around 2 cm. The rootstock consists of rhizomes, growing vertically down. They are creamish in color and covered with root hairs.
The flowers are white or pinkish to red in color, born in small, rounded bunches (umbels) near the surface of the soil. Each flower is partly enclosed in two green bracts. The hermaphrodite flowers are minute in size (less than 3 mm), with 5-6 corolla lobes per flower. Each flower bears five stamens and two styles. The fruit are densely reticulate, distinguishing it from species of Hydrocotyle which have smooth, ribbed or warty fruit.〔 The crop matures in three months, and the whole plant, including the roots, is harvested manually.
