| Species Description: |
| Despite its common name, this attractive little plant is more often found in wet, marshy conditions in fens, lakeshores, and flushes. It is a creeping plant with circular leaves and an abundance of beautiful pale pink flowers. When not flowering it resembles the New Zealand willowherb. |
| All names: Anagallis tenella (L.) L. |
