'''''Euphorbia serpens''''' is a species of ''[[Euphorbia]]'' known by the common name '''matted sandmat'''. It is native to the [[Americas]] but it can be found on most continents as an [[introduced species]] and often a weed.<ref>[http://www.zimbabweflora.co.zw/speciesdata/species.php?species_id=136360 Flora of Zimbabwe]</ref> <br />

== Description ==<br />
This is an annual herb forming a mat of prostrate stems which root at nodes where the stem comes in contact with the ground. The oval leaves occur in oppositely arranged pairs, each leaf less than a centimeter long. The [[inflorescence]] is a [[cyathium]] with scalloped white petal-like appendages surrounding the actual flowers. A red nectar gland is at the base of each appendage, and at the center of the cyathium are several male flowers around one female flower. The fruit is a lobed, spherical capsule.<br />
