joelsephus said:While I have your attention, here's a couple more plants I'm hoping you can help me with. They were both given to me by a Thai woman who didn't know their English names. Both she brought from Thailand, they're edible and supposedly
medicinal.

This one's growing in my pond.

And this one almost looks like a nasturtium, but I'm pretty sure it's not.

From further research I've done, I think these plants are, respectively, Oenanthe javanica ("Chinese celery") and Centella asiatica ("Indian pennywort" or "Gotu kola"). I'm not positive about the second one, since I see two different looking plants shown in pictures of Centella. Here's what mine looks like.
