This mat-forming prostrate, leafy perennial grows on dry, grassy and acid spoils. It has very many tiny white four-petalled sickly smelling flowers (2-4mm) in loose panicles and its leaves are narrow with forward-pointing bristles and are in whorls of six to eight. Flowering from June to August it then produces fruit which is covered by pointed warts. |
