Ranunculus inundatus, commonly known as Umbrella Grass, is an aquatic plant native to Australia. It grows to a height of 5-10 cm and is characterized by its compact form and distinctive, deeply lobed, umbrella-like leaves. This plant forms numerous vertical runners, leading to the development of new plants and, over time, creating a thick carpet-like coverage in the aquarium foreground. Good lighting conditions promote compact growth, and longer leaves can be pruned to maintain the desired appearance.
