Purslane Speedwell

Purslane Speedwell is a broadleaf weed with vertically growing branched stems radiating from the base of the plant. Lower leaves on non-flowering parts of the plant are opposite, petiolated and hairless. The upper leaves are alternate and much smaller than the lower leaves, which have fewer teeth. Purslane Speedwell also has a fibrous root system. Blooming from April through August, Purslane Speedwell produces tiny white flowers with four petals. Reproduction occurs by seeds.
