	Mollugo Verticillata ''Mollugo verticillata'', the green carpetweed (also known as Indian chickweed), is a rapidly spreading annual plant from tropical America. In eastern North America, it is a common weed growing in disturbed areas. It forms a prostrate circular mat that can quickly climb over nearby plants and obstacles. The species has been reported from every state in the United States except Alaska, Hawaii, and Utah, as well as from British Columbia, Manitoba. Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia. Although considered an invasive weed, ''M.'' ''verticillata'' is also known to be edible. Archaeological evidence has shown that ''M''. ''verticillata'' has been in North America for about 3000 years. Sometimes also referred to as "Indian chickweed", in China this plant is referred to as ''zhong leng su mi cao''. Description Carpetweed has narrow, whorled leaves, 3-8 at each node. At maturity the plant may lose its characteristic basal rosette formation. Leaves are approximately 1–3& ...

picture info	Ajuga Reptans ''Ajuga reptans'' is commonly known as bugle, blue bugle, bugleherb, bugleweed, carpetweed, carpet bugleweed, and common bugle, and traditionally but less commonly as St. Lawrence plant. It is an herbaceous flowering plant in the mint family Lamiaceae, native to Europe. It is invasive in parts of North America. It is also a component of purple moor grass and rush pastures, a Biodiversity Action Plan habitat in the United Kingdom. ''Ajuga reptans'' is a dense spreading groundcover with dark green leaves with purple highlights. The leaves grow tall. In spring the plant sends up tall flower stalks bearing many purple flowers. The flowers are frequently visited by flies, such as '' Rhingia campestris''. Description ''Ajuga reptans'' is a sprawling perennial herbParnell. J. and Curtis, T. 2012. ''Webb's An Irish Flora''.

picture info	Aizoaceae The Aizoaceae, or fig-marigold family, is a large family of dicotyledonous flowering plants containing 135 genera and about 1800 species. They are commonly known as ice plants or carpet weeds. They are often called vygies in South Africa and New Zealand. Highly succulent species that resemble stones are sometimes called mesembs. Description The family Aizoaceae is widely recognised by taxonomists. It once went by the botanical name "Ficoidaceae", now disallowed. The APG II system of 2003 (unchanged from the APG system of 1998) also recognizes the family, and assigns it to the order Caryophyllales in the clade core eudicots. The APG II system also classes the former families Mesembryanthemaceae Fenzl, Sesuviaceae Horan. and Tetragoniaceae Link under the family Aizoaceae. The common Afrikaans name "vygie" meaning "small fig" refers to the fruiting capsule, which resembles the true fig. Glistening epidermal bladder cells give the family its common name "ice plants".

	Molluginaceae The Molluginaceae are a family of flowering plants recognized by several taxonomists. It was previously included in the larger family Aizoaceae. The APG III system of 2009 made no change in the status of the family as compared to the APG II system of 2003 and the APG system of 1998, apart from a reassignment of several genera, such as the placement of ''Corrigiola'' and ''Telephium'' into Caryophyllaceae, '' Corbichonia'' in Lophiocarpaceae, '' Microtea'' into Microteaceae and ''Limeum'' in Limeaceae, because the family was found to be widely polyphyletic in Caryophyllales. In addition '' Macarthuria'' was found not to be related to ''Limeum'' as previously thought and thus it was placed in Macarthuriaceae, and similarly species formerly placed in '' Hypertelis'', apart from type species ''Hypertelis spergulacea'', a true Molluginaceae, were found to belong elsewhere and were described as '' Kewa'' in the family Kewaceae, named for the Royal Botanic Gardens Kew.
