Photo of the month: Centella uniflora
Centella uniflora was originally named Hydrocotyle asiatica, then changed to Hydrocotyle uniflora before being reclassified as Centella uniflora.
It is the New Zealand relative of a widespread Asian medicinal plant "Gotu Kola" or Centella asiatica. So you can see why there has been confusion over the names.
