     This sounds like a native, Ludwigia peploides, aka water primrose.  
     This one has flotation bladders on the root.  It has very nice 
     yellow flowers, and I have seen huge mats of these plants covering 
     shallow water areas here in Texas.  They bloom during the summer, 
     and I have always seen them growing in full sun.  They're also 
     called verdolaga de agua.
