Quoting Burkhard Plache <burkhardplache@gmail.com>:
> I have not been able to identify the plant shown on the linked photos:
> https://www.dropbox.com/sh/xmn3l7xbekmf6a0/AADfZtIfMoYfb_hj_BXEGpLHa?dl=0
* looks like Ludwigia palustris, which seems to be englished as "Marsh
Purslane."

======================================
>
> It grows at Frog Pond, Halifax, in shallow, muddy places.
> The stem is anchored to the ground, and when lying flat
> on the ground, develops roots from the leaf nodes.
> In some places, this plant grows so dense it is the only species
> of its height. It reaches a height of maybe up to 5 cm above water,
> but persists also on mud where it may be a bit taller.
> So far I have not noticed any flowers.
>
> Any help in identifying would be much appreciated.

"[The] two fundamental steps of scientific thought - the conjecture
and refutation of Popper - have little place in the usual conception
of intelligence. If something is to be dismissed as inadequate, it is
surely not Darwin [, whose] works manifest the activity of a mind
seeking for wisdom, a value which conventional philosophy has largely
abandoned." Ghiselen, 1969. Triumph of the Darwinian Method, p 237.
