This low-growing, loosely branched annual is common in tropical areas. The entire plant is covered with soft hairs. Broad, oval leaves taper to a point and are opposite each other along the main stems. Florida pusley often hugs the ground, forms dense patches and easily smothers good turf. Clusters of tiny, white, star-shaped flowers are found at the base of the uppermost leaves. Branches are often tinged with red. Florida pusley is also known as Mexican clover.
