Carpet-weeds

Carpet-weeds are a family of flowering plants, typically exhibiting small, delicate leaves and modest green to white flowers. These plants are often low-growing and form mat-like structures, adapting well to dry, sandy environments by conserving moisture. Their survival strategy includes a dense, spreading habit which helps in ground coverage, reducing water loss and maximizing light capture.
