Phyla Nodiflora
''Phyla nodiflora'', commonly known as lippia, kurapia, and frogfruit, is a species of flowering plant in the family Verbenaceae. It can be found in the tropics around the globe. It is often grown as an ornamental plant for ground cover, and is often present in yards or disturbed areas. Description The inflorescence consists of a purple centre encircled by small white-to-pink flower Flowers, also known as blooms and blossoms, are the reproductive structures of flowering plants ( angiosperms). Typically, they are structured in four circular levels, called whorls, around the end of a stalk. These whorls include: calyx, m ...s. The flower takes on a match-like look, which is why the plant is sometimes called matchweed. It is similar to the related species '' Phyla lanceolata'', but differs in having much shorter leaves that are often blunt and much more rounded. Both species are common as weeds and in the ornamental environment. References External links Jepson Manual ...
