Wedelia Trilobata

Wedelia may be a common weed problem in many parts of Florida. Introduced from tropical America, wedelia has been utilized in the landscape as a groundcover. Sphagneticola trilobata, commonly referred to as the Bay Biscayne creeping-oxeye, Singapore daisy, creeping-oxeye, trailing daisy, and wedelia, may be a plant within the Heliantheae tribe of the Asteraceae family. it's native to Mexico, Central America, and therefore the Caribbean, but now grows throughout the Neotropics.

The seeds are tuberculate achenes, 4–5 mm long. Propagation is usually vegetatively as seeds are usually not fertile.
