Paronychia
Also called Nailworts
Paronychia is a genus of plants in the family Caryophyllaceae with over 110 species worldwide, mostly from warm-temperate North America, Eurasia, South America and Africa. They are annual or biennial or perennial herbs. Some species have a woody base. For the most part they have small, white to yellow-white flowers that are often hidden within the paired bracts.
The genus Siphonychia has been incorporated into Paronychia by botanists.
