It looks like some sort of pennywort but I doesn't look like the invasive none native one as I have never seen mine flower. |

Hi thx for replies, seems like it is ivy leaved crowsfoot as has already been covered on this site in the past.
Would this plant make a good addition to my pond do you think or not? NB i pulled it out of the pond today and i have not introduced it.
Thx Rob

yes it does look similar..it is a short lived plant so looks like it will do no harm. |

It's definitely a Water Crowfoot species, but I'm not certain which one. The leaf shape doesn't look right for Ivy-leaved (Ranunculus hederaceus) though. One thing to check is whether it has filamentous submerged leaves in addition to the flat leaf type shown in the photo - some species have both types, others only one or the other.
Either way, in the pond this would be best in a very shallow muddy marginal area, where it can root and grow down to deeper water if it wants to. Ideally it would like damp mud around the margin that dries out somewhat in summer and is submerged over winter, rather than being permanently submerged. | | |
