Lythrum portula is a species of flowering plant in the loosestrife family known by the common names water-purslane [1] and spatulaleaf loosestrife. [2] It is native to Europe, and it is found in parts of western North America as an introduced species. It often grows in moist habitat, such as marshes.
The yellow flowers have five regular parts and are up to 6 millimetres (1 ⁄ 4 inch) wide. Depending upon rainfall, the flowers appear at any time during the year. The flowers open singly at the center of the leaf cluster for only a few hours on sunny mornings. The tiny seeds [5] are formed in a pod that opens when the seeds mature.
