My plant is currently just a tuft of small leaves badly shaded by 
overrunning Hygrophila polysperma, but about a year ago I had flowers 
that self-fertilized and produced hard berry-like fruits that were 
about the size of marbles.  They would persist for several weeks 
after reaching full size and then suddenly disintegrate.  I never 
really saw any seeds, but I did see an occasional seedling, none of 
which made it very far.  From the size of the seedlings, the seeds 
must be pretty small.
