Moneywort

Moneywort, a popular name applied to several plants, especially to Lysimachia nummularia and to Anagallis tenella, both indigenous members of the order Primulacea;. The former, also known as Creeping Jenny and as Herb Twopence, is a trailing plant, with roundish glossy leaves and golden funnel-shaped flowers. The latter, generally known as the Bog Pimpernel, is much smaller, and has rounded leaves and small pink flowers. The name Cornish Moneywort is applied to Sibthorpia Europcca, also a trailing plant with rounded leaves, but belonging to the Scrophulariaceas.
