Marsilea quadrifolia

Marsilea quadrifolia is a herbaceous plant found naturally in central and southern Europe, Caucasia, western Siberia, Afghanistan, south-west India, China, Japan, and Vietnam, though it is considered a weed in some parts of the United States, where it has been well established in the northeast for over 100 years.[2] Its common names include four leaf clover and European waterclover (USA), even though it is not a species of clover.
