Frogbit 20+ (Hydrocharis morsus-ranae) 1 cup portion
SKU: Frogbit
European or common frog-bit, Hydrocharis morsus-ranae, is a floating perennial aquatic plant native to vast swaths of Eurasia, extending from Portugal to the Caucus Mountains and the British Isles and southern Sweden to northern Italy. The name frog-bit is nearly a direct translation of its Latin species name, morsus-ranae; the Latin word for “bite” is morsus and “frog” is rana. Some botanists believe that this is actually a misnomer, as the frogs seen supposedly feeding on the plant are actually catching caterpillars that the leaves host.
