I was beginning to think nobody was going to have a go.
Way off, Hilary, I'm afraid. Much larger.

Well my book fell open at Euphorbia paralias.
Can't say I have ever noticed it and it is too wet to go out for a walk along the 'paralia' beach near us
So is this it?

ALice is it a Chenopodiaceae? I wonder whether I should go to the nearby salt lake to look for it. Afterall the sun is still shining here.

No, Hilary.
And no, Charithea, but if you went for a walk to your salt lake you might see one. As indeed you might, Hilary, near the paralia. And look up rather than down.
