Acmella repens is a North American species of flowering plant in the family Asteraceae. The plant is native to the southeastern and south-central United States, primarily in the coastal plain from Texas to North Carolina and in the lower Mississippi Valley from Missouri to Louisiana

Acmella repens can be grown as a mid-ground or background plant as it has to creep prostrate stems. These stems can root when coming in contact with the soil and intensify. When grown in water, the floating stems also sometimes produce roots that look very beautiful in the aquarium. The stems are green or reddish in color and pubescent. Since the common name is the opposite leaf spot flower, the leaves emerge oppositely. The leaves have toothed margins that make the plant more exotic. Although it produces small yellow flowers, they appear only in dry locations. It is the reason why Acmella repens can be grown in entirely aquatic or semi-aquatic conditions.

Under intense lighting conditions, the plant shows bushier growth. It gets compact under partial light. However, both conditions make it favorable for the tanks. Moderate or dim light may stunt growth.
