Species #48: Bird’s Eye Pearlwort
Bird’s Eye Pearlwort
Sagina procumbens
I’m not positive about this identification, but it definitely looks to me like a Sagina, and it certainly is not Beach Pearlwort. It does not seem to fit the descriptions of the other native pearlworts in the region, so I’m left concluding it is this introduced species.
This species is fairly inconspicuous, though I have noticed it growing several places in hard-packed gravel (generally at the edge of a road).
