Radiola linoides
Also called Flax Seed, Tiny Allseed
Radiola linoides is the sole species in the Radiola genus, a monotypic genus of flowering plants belonging to the family Linaceae. It has the common names of 'allseed' and 'flaxseed'. It has a very short stem which is repeatedly subdivided, with a pair of very small leaves and a single white flower at each fork and at the end of the branches. It has leaves which are opposite arranged, oval (in shape) and sessile.
In Britain, it is generally found in acidic grasslands and heathlands, on grassy cliff slopes, along the rutted (broken) edges of tracks, beside woodland rides and firebreaks, at the edges of ponds, in sandy grassland, machair (low-lying grassy plains) and dune slacks and in soil-filled rock crevices (Wilmore 2002; Chater 2010; Rand & Mundell 2011). In Dorset, it is often found with Chaffweed (Anagallis minima).
