Like many pearlworts this is easily overlooked being procumbent and with very small flowers. As can be seen the petals are either very, very small or absent, the leaves are dark green and quite succulent. Apart from the occasional oddity inland, this is entirely coastal in its distribution over virtually all the coastline of the British Islands.
