A rather inconspicuous little Eurasian weed, locally abundant in Michigan in roadsides, lawns, and cultivated ground, but first collected in Michigan as late as 1949 in Washtenaw Co. The species appears to be a winter-annual, blooming as early as April, fruiting promptly, and ordinarily drying up in May; consequently, it is easily overlooked. Plants may flower when as short as 2 cm, although mature fruiting individuals may be as tall as 25 cm.
