Galenia secunda

provided by wikipedia EN

Galenia secunda (onesided galenia) is a plant species native to South Africa but naturalized in Australia (Western Australia, Victoria, Tasmania and New South Wales), Spain, and the United States (Florida and New Jersey).[2][3][4][5][6] In Spain and Australia, is considered an invasive weed threatening native vegetation.[7][8]

Galenia secunda is shrub or perennial herb with grayish-white stems that trail along the ground for as much as 60 cm, forming mats. Leaves are grayish-white, folded inward, up to 2.5 cm long. Flowers are small, white to yellowish, up to 2 mm in diameter, often hidden by the leaves. [4][9][10]
