Nasturtium floridanum, common names Florida yellowcress[3] and Florida watercress, is an aquatic plant species endemic to Florida, though widely distributed within that state. It is found in wet places at elevations less than 50 m.[4]

Nasturtium floridanum can be distinguished from the more common N. officinale by its much smaller seeds, less than 2 mm across. [4][5][6][7]
