Chamaesyce maculata is a very small plant. Its leaves are only 5 to 9 mm long. It has been introduced from North America. In Central Europe it has first been found on paths of cemeteries for which gravel imported from the Mediterranean had been used. In between it is wide spread in regions of warm climate, the Mannheim and Ludwigshafen findings are from rarely used port and railway areas. Also three similar Chamaesyce species without dotted leaves have been introduced in between. |
