Short Description from Oklahoma Wildlife Conservation:
The Tiny Tim (Geocarpon minimum) is a small succulent-like forb. It has a slender taproot and erect to spreading-ascending stems that may be unbranched or branched from near the base. It has sessile, opposite, oblong-triangular, and fleshy leaves. Apetalous, sessile flowers occur singly in leaf axils at alternate nodes. Each flower has five triangular sepals atop a hypanthium, with five stamens alternating with the sepals, and three styles.
Natural Habitat:
Highly mineralized sandy or rocky soils in glades or along the edges of bare soil spots.
