Hemianthus callitrichoides (also known as dwarf baby tears, cuba or simply the initials HC) is a semi-aquatic plant in the family Linderniaceae. The plant is endemic to West Indies, where it is native to the islands of The Bahamas, Cuba, Hispaniola, Jamaica, and Puerto Rico.[1] In The Bahamas, this species known as "water-starwort".[1]

This species is commonly used as a foreground or carpeting plant in planted aquariums. When used in aquascaping, this species is known to have relatively high light and CO₂ requirements. Once planted, each portion will produce runners which basically are individual stems that branch off and grow along the substrate.[2]

Hemianthus callitrichoides was first collected by Holger Windeløv and Eusebio Canicio Delgado PérezШаблон:Cn in 2003 in Las Pozas, Cuba, about Шаблон:Convert east of Havana. Unlike the related Hemianthus micranthemoides, H. callitrichoides is thought to be native only to Cuba.[3]
