Description
It is an annual herb growing decumbent to upright in form with mostly hairless herbage. The leaves are made up of oval leaflets up to 1.2 centimeters (1⁄2 in) in length. The inflorescences occur in leaf axils, each a cluster of many flowers resembling a flowerhead. Each flower has a calyx of sepals with triangular points that bend outward and a pink corolla.
Distribution and habitat
It is native to Eurasia and North Africa and it is known elsewhere as an introduced species. It easily takes hold in disturbed areas, becoming a common weed.
