Paronychia turcica Endemic
As yet this plant, although added to the expanding Turkish flora in 1966, has not been checked by World Plants online. So I assume this name is correct for now but new Paronychia species in Turkey are still being found. Three new ones were discovered in 2017 for instance.
This is a woody plant therefore described as a shrub but it typically grows in rocky habitats very low to the ground and so far has only been found in eastern Turkey. The flowers are small and the majority of flower structures you see with the naked eye are actually bracts rather than petals or sepals.
