Introduced cool-season biennial or short lived perennial legume; stems are semi prostrate to erect, thick and 30-160 cm tall. Leaves are pinnate with 7-15 pairs of round to oval leaflets and succulent; upper surface is hairless and lower surface is hairy. Flowerheads are racemes with up to 35 pea-like flowers; petals are red to crimson. Pods are 3-8-segmented and have a rough short thorny surface. A native of the Mediterranean region, it is sown as a short-term ley legume in cropping systems. It produces large quantities of high quality feed in winter and spring. It can be grazed or cut for hay (less leaf drop than lucerne, but thicker stems are more difficult to dry) or silage, but is not suitable for use in grass/legume pastures.
Native, warm season, perennial, succulent, hairless prostrate herb. Stems are to 1 m long and root at the nodes. Leaves are linear to lanceolate or oblanceolate, to 7 cm long and 5–10 mm wide. Flowers are solitary, axillary and pedicellate. Perianth is tubular, pink, 5-lobed, with a dorsal fleshy mucro behind each apex. Stamens are numerous. Grows on sand or mud in subtropical to tropical coasts.

Some pilgrims, not just monks, make circuits of the Barkhor prostrating themselves at every step. Exceptionally devout pilgrims travel long distances on pilgrimages, sometimes many hundreds of miles, prostrating themselves at every step - such pilgrimages, e.g. to Mount Kailash can take years.
Prostrate Knotweed at Sandy Point, Catron Co., NM, 180826. Polygonum aviculare. Core Eudicots: Caryophyllales: Polygonaceae. AKA (yard knotweed, common knotgrass, birdweed, pigweed, lowgrass)
Introduced, warm-season, annual or short-lived perennial, prostrate herb covered in stiff hairs. Stems are mostly more than 15 cm long. Leaves are opposite, hairy, elliptical to ovate, 0.5-5 cm long and 0.8-2.8 cm wide. Flowerheads are heads of 20 (or more) small (3-8 mm long) white flowers, mostly with 6 petals and 6 sepals (can be 5-7). 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. 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.
Purple Sand Verbena or Abronia umbellata - is a perennial prostrate herb with succulent fleshy leaves and light purple flower clusters. Blooms January through December. Replace non-native iceplant with Beach Sand Verbena, it makes a good ground cover for undisturbed sandy coastal areas. Abronia umbellata is found on the coast from Washington state down to Baja, California.

Greenleaf five-eyes at Vaughn, Guadalupe Co., NM, 120506. Chamaesaracha coronopus. Solanaceae. AKA (Ground Saracha, False Nightshade, Prostrate Ground Cherry).
This prostrate annual forb flowers only late summer and the flower clusters rise slightly above soil level in contrast to earlier summer growth that is mostly prostrate. This native annual prostrate forb, Tiquilia nuttallii, is most abundant in sandy swales. Stem branching is dichotomous, the leaf venation is furrowed on the upper surface, and the leaf hairs are coarse, as is characteristic of many borage species. This site lies in the Wyoming big sagebrush steppe of the Idaho National Laboratory, east of Lincoln Blvd and off Seven Mile Road, Butte County, Idaho.

'Punarnava' is a prostrate herb native to India. it is known for its anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties. its roots are used by a large number of tribes in India for the treatment of various hepatic disorders and for internal inflammation.
Erect, prostrate or occasionally clump-forming shrub to to 1.5 m tall, stems glabrous. Leaves oblanceolate or narrow-elliptic, mostly 5–30 mm long, usually 1–4 mm wide, rarely to 7 mm. Flowers in bracteate heads, terminal; peduncles mostly 1–40 mm long, glabrous. Bracts 4, sometimes 8; 4–19 mm long, 3–10 mm wide, often with a reddish tinge. Flowers are bisexual or female, 7–44 per head, white or occasionally pink, mostly 10–20 mm long, female flowers shorter. Flowers from winter to summer. Widespread. Toxic to stock, but not very palatable.
Native cool-season annual or short-lived perennial herb with prostrate or weakly erect stems which root at the nodes and are sparsely covered in long white hairs. Leaves are 1-2 times divided, 1-4 cm long and sparsely hairy to nearly hairless. Flowerheads consist of solitary heads held above the leaves on slender stalks. Heads are hemispherical, 4-5 mm wide and usually creamy to yellow-green. Fruit are 1–1.5 mm long and flattened, with narrow thickened wings or wingless. Flowers in winter and spring. Found in moist, often disturbed, areas of lawns, grasslands, woodlands and grassy forests. Native biodiversity. An indicator of bare ground and reduced competition. A minor species of pastures, being most common in short, moist areas. Of little importance to stock, as it produces little bulk, is not readily eaten and is rarely abundant.
Introduced warm-season perennial prostrate herb forming dense mats up to 1.6 m across. Stems are thick and woody. Grey, hairy, slightly succulent, roughly spoon-shaped leaves are alternately arranged along the stems and 4–25 mm long. Flowers are tiny white to pink, found in the leaf axils and have 5 "petals" and 10 stamens. Fruit are small (2-3 mm across) cup-shaped capsules containing a small number of seeds. Flowering is from spring through to autumn. Often forms dense mats on roadsides, lawns, wasteland, and other disturbed areas. Tolerates drought and soil salinity. Most commonly found in areas receiving summer rainfall, on loam soils. Does not persist in areas that are regularly and frequently grazed. Successfully planted to stabilize mine tailing dumps, but has spread from there to become a common weed.
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.
They made me think you were a prostrate living in New York. Can you see how much i love you, it's never been about what you look like or what you have done but yes i was scared for your everyday thinking you were being raped and abused, I was hurting with extreme emotional pain every day. I love you forever Gabby.
Native, warm-season, prostrate, ascending or erect, much-branched, hairless herb. Grows in heath and swampy areas, extending into open sclerophyll forest on damp sandy soils
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.
