    Can anyone tell me what this is? It was photographed in Brazoria County TX (that's South of Houston on the Gulf Coast) in September.

    Looks like Ludwigia octovalvis Family: Onagraceae, Evening-primrose
    It is the most abundant Ludwigia species in that area. It has four petals and eight stamens, cylindrical seed capsules to two inches long.
