A prostrate Hibbertia, looking cheery atop the leaf litter beside a walking trail in Warrimoo, Lower Blue Mountains.
Introduced, cool season, annual, prostrate to more or less erect, more or less hairy herbaceous legume. Leaves are 3-foliolate and hairless on the upper surface, with terminal leaflets 10–25 mm long and 10–32 mm wide; leaflets are marked by an upper central blotch or a very wide shield occupying the basal two-thirds of the leaflet. Stipules are strongly toothed and hairy on the lower surface. Flowerheads are 2–5-flowered; the peduncle is shorter than subtending petiole. Calyx teeth are equal in length to the calyx tube and the corolla is yellow. Flowers in spring
Introduced, cool-season, annual, prostrate legume; may grow to 50 cm tall under good conditions. Leaves have 3 oval to heart-shaped leaflets; each hairless, 10-20 mm long and with serrations towards the tip. The stalk of central leaflet is longer than the lateral ones. Flowerheads consist of 1-3 yellow pea-like flowers in the leaf axils. Burrs are coiled and have hooked spines (rarely spineless). Flowers in late winter and spring. A native of the Mediterranean, it is occasional on floodplains and in disturbed areas (e.g. roadsides) on the coast where the soils are heavier and slightly acid to alkaline. Rarely abundant on the coast, but a valuable legume in inland low to medium rainfall areas. It is palatable and nutritious, and can provide some useful autumn-spring feed after adequate cool season rain. If consumed in excessive quantities it can cause bloat and photosensitisation.

Yes, sprigs from this bush also (see prior shot...) sometimes make it into my cooking...
Introduced, cool season, annual, prostrate, erect or ascending, hairless or sparsely hairy legume with branches to 60 cm long. Leaves are trifoliolate, wih leaflets ± obovate, toothed and 4–15 mm long. Flowerheads are umbel-like, 6–12 mm long and many-flowered. Flowers occur on minute pedicels and are erect to deflexed after anthesis. Petalsare 3–6 mm long, longer than the sepals, pink and not persistent. Fruit are woolly. Flowering i in spring. Widely naturalised, mostly on the Tablelands and Slopes.
Introduced, warm-season, perennial, prostrate herb covered in stiff hairs. Stems are to 15 cm long. Leaves are opposite, hairy, narrow-ovate to ovate,0.5-2 cm long and 0.3-1 cm wide. Flowerheads are heads of up to 15 small white flowers, mostly with 4 petals and sepals. Flowering is from spring to autumn. A native of South America, it is a weed in coastal districts south from Newcastle in disturbed places, such as over-grazed pastures, stockyards and roadsides. An indicator of disturbance and poor ground cover. Of little importance to livestock grazing, as it usually occurs in low abundance, is very low growing and produces little bulk. Control is not required; abundance is suppressed with healthy vigorous pastures.
Prostrate perennial knawel (Scleranthus perennis spp. prostratus) in flower. This species is globally restricted to the Breckland area of Norfolk and Suffolk. It is unable to compete with more vigorous plants such as grasses. The sandy, nutrient-poor soils of the Brecks heaths and its dynamic, steppe-like climate provide the conditions that Prostrate perennial knawel requires.

Beautiful federally-listed endangered endemic Hawaiian species. This is the prostrate form from Ka Lae, Hawai'i Island.
This particular form of this variable species is my most favourite because of the subtle uniqueness of its leaf shape and the lovely yellow flowers which are normally red/orange.
This summer I diligently hand-pollinated each blossom so to get as as much seed as possible! 'ohai.
Pilgrims who repeatedly prostrate themselves, make a Tibetan prayer gesture, raise their hands in prayer, and lay down on the ground, their arms extended in front of them. Then they stand up and place their feet where their fingertips had just touched and repeat the process again. Those that do this often wear knee pads, aprons and canvas shoes on their hands.
This photo shows the native creeping vine small-leaved pohuehue - (Muehlenbeckia complexa), the rare prostrate broom (Charmichaelia appressa) which is endemic to only the Kaitorete Spit, and the threatened pingao (golden sand sedge - Ficinia spiralis) which is endemic to New Zealand.
Often confused as a shrub because of its habit on piling up high on itself, or another plant, to form a dense tangled shrub-like mass that be a metre or so high.
A common creeping tangled vine of the New Zealand coast. Great lizard habitat and lizards play a role in spreading the seed.

Poole's Gavin Wheeler prostrate on the Graves Leisure Centre track after a heavy tumble during an Elite League cycle speedway match against Sheffield. The Great Britain and England international scored nine points at the Meadowhead circuit as the visitors from Dorset lost 98-78.
A statue in Brigit Garden, the winter garden, made of metallic leaves in a shape of a prostrating man/woman. Probably it resembles the sleeping spring season (i.e. the leaves and flowers) in winter days.
I felt it is more dramatic to put it in black and white instead of colored. However, the black and white version is based on HDR rendering.
Introduced warm-season perennial tufted, sometimes stoloniferous, C4 grass; stems are erect, geniculate to prostrate, relatively brittle, to 70 cm tall and with a ring of glands below the nodes. Leaf blades are soft and sheaths are hairless or with tubercle-based hairs (i.e. with small wart-like outgrowths at their base); there are rigid 2-4 mm long hairs either side of the ligule. Flowerheads are contacted panicles at first, becoming open panicles at maturity and 8-27 cm long; lower branches are whorled, hairs are only found in the axils of the main stem and the lower ones sometimes have a brown ring of glands below them. Spikelets are 4-5.5 mm long and 1-1.5 mm wide, usually 3-7 flowered, flattened, unawned and with lemmas 1.5-1.8 mm long. Flowers in summer and autumn. A native of Africa, it grows on well-drained gravel to sandy loams in disturbed and overgrazed areas, especially roadsides. Found as far south as Wellington. Thought to have been brought in as a seed contaminant of Eragrostis curvula, it is spreading along roadsides on the north west slopes. Of no importance to livestock as it currently mostly grows on roadsides. Grows in same habitat as Eragrostis curvula and Eragrostis pilosa and often mistaken for these species. This plant has recently been mown.
Penitents prostrate on the floor during the Good Friday procession by the streets of the Pyrenean village of Bossost. The town of Bossost, located in the north of the Pyrenees mountains at the administrative entity of Val d'Aran, is a small village of 1000 inhabitants that since 1879 carries out the procession of Good Friday during the holy week. It is the only village in the area that has maintained this tradition and during this day the majority of its inhabitants dress as penitents to take to the streets in procession of Christian roots.

Leptecophylla tameiameiae (Chamisso and Schlechtendahl) C. M. Weiller, a prostrate form.
Synonym: Styphelia tameiameiae (Chamisso and Schlechtendahl) F. Mueller
Hawaiian names: pūkiawe, `a`ali`i mahu, kānehoa, kāwa`u, maiele, puakiawe, pūpūkiawe
Family: Ericaceae (the heath family), formerly in the family Epacridaceae
This is a prostrate form of Leptecophylla tameiameiae that occurs in the wettest parts of the Ko`olau Mountains in windswept vegetation on exposed ridges that is similar to the vegetation found in Hawaiian montane bogs. The prostrate form of the Ko`olau Mountains may be identical to the prostrate plants of L. tameiameiae that occur in the montane bogs of Kaua`i, Moloka`i, and Maui.
Introduced, warm-season, annual, prostrate to ascending herb with several stems to 30 cm long, often forming dense mats. Leaves are oblong, elliptic or obovate-oblong, mostly 3–8 mm long and usually 1–4 mm wide; margins are finely toothed to nearly entire; lamina often with a reddish brown spot in the middle. Flowerheads consist of cyathia with narrow white to pink, lobed appendages to 0.5 mm wide. Capsules are 1.3 mm long, with appressed hairs scattered over the 3 faces. Flowering is in summer. A native of NorthAmerica, It is a garden weed; often grows in cracks and paths.
Holly Lomatia, Lomatia ilicifolia, leaves are toothed, hard and prickly, with raised veins on upper surface. Wog Wog, Morton National Park, NSW Australia, April 2013.
Introduced, cool-season annual, stemless or short-stemmed herb to 30 cm tall. Leaves form a prostrate rosette to 50 cm in diameter; they are spear shaped, serrated, deeply lobed; upper surface hairless to hairy; lower surface white felted. Flowerheads occur on unbranched peduncles. Ray florets are yellow, ligulate and sterile; disc florets are dark, tubular and bisexual. Germinates in autumn/winter; flowers in spring. A native of South Africa, it is strongly competitive weed of crops, pastures, lawns and disturbed areas (e.g. roadsides). Prefers lighter textured soils of reasonable fertility and where there is a lack of competition. Grazed by stock, but is of lower value than many good pasture species. Can cause nitrate poisoning in sheep and cattle on high fertility soils; taints milk; causes allergic skin reaction in horses and donkeys. Best managed using a number of methods: competition, grazing, mechanical, herbicides. Maintain dense, vigorous pastures and minimise soil disturbance. Needs to be controlled in year prior to sowing pastures; control is easiest at the seedling stage. Combined knockdown herbicides prior to sowing, selective post-sowing herbicides or manuring of crops and pastures can be highly effective for control.
Introduced warm-season perennial, hairless to hairy herb. Stems are prostrate and less than 15 cm long. Leaves are opposite, ovate, 0.7-2.5 cm long and 0.2-0.5 cm wide. Flowerheads are heads of a few to many, small (2-4 mm long), white flowers, with 4 petals and 4-5 sepals. Leaf-like bracts surrounding the flowerheads are nearly hairless on the upper surface. Flowering is from late winter to autumn. A native of South America, it is a weed of disturbed places, such as river flats, stockyards and roadsides. It is only abundant in hard conditions (sandy soils with low water holding capacity) where there is low ground cover or where there has been disturbance from ploughing or flooding. An indicator of disturbance and poor ground cover. Of little importance to livestock grazing, as it usually occurs in low abundance, is very low growing and produces little bulk. Control is rarely required, as abundance is suppressed with healthy vigorous pastures. Herbicides are registered for its control.
Moss rose is a prostrate, trailing, multi-branched annual with semisucculent stems and leaves. It reaches about 6 in (15 cm) tall with a spread of 12 in (30.5 cm) The reddish stems and the bright green leaves are thick and soft and juicy. The leaves are cylindrical, about an inch long, and pointed on the tips. The roselike flowers are about an inch across and come in bright colors like rose pink, red, yellow, white, and orange. Some are striped or spotted with contrasting colors. The flowers are borne on the stem tips, and they open only during bright sunlight, closing at night and on cloudy days.

Introduced, cool-season, annual, low-growing, hairless legume, with prostrate to ascending stems. Leaves have 3 leaflets, each oblong to round and 4-13 mm long. The central leaflet has a distinctly longer stalk than the lateral ones. Flowerheads are loose to somewhat dense hemispherical clusters (6-7 mm long) of 3-20 yellow pea-like flowers. Flowering is in spring. A native of Europe, it is found in pastures, woodlands, lawns and roadsides. Although it often occurs at reasonably high density in short pastures, productivity is low and it has a high proportion of stem to leaf. It is palatable and grows from autumn to early summer (very dependent on rainfall), but only produces useful amounts of feed in spring. Requires moist soil for growth, so tends to burn-off rapidly in late spring as temperatures rise and soil moisture often remains low. Growth increases with applied phosphorus as long as pastures are kept short in late winter and early spring, but the response is likely to be too small to be economic.
