[8] When exposed directly to the sun, the leaves sit lowered, towards the ground, whereas in the shade they will stand upright.

[8] Flowering times for C. cordifolia occur between late summer (December) to early autumn (March).

[8] Distinguishing C. cordifolia from other Centella species can be difficult, particularly from C. asiatica, which also inhabits parts of Australia.

[8] The herb grows in damp, poorly drained environments, including marshy soils or shallow waters.

[12] Centella cordifolia is known to treat rheumatism and arthritis,[7][2] though widespread adoption and evidence for this is limited.

[13] C. asiatica is widespread across Australia, Africa, Asia, North and South America, with well-known cultural, medicinal and culinary uses.
