Explanation of name: Generic name from Latin for a felt cap, in reference to the fruit cover (WA1). Microphylla means small-leaved.
Natural range: Florida to South America
Recognition: Not a fern. Small plants with variably-sized (often ¼”-1”) sessile leaves, these usually narrowly elliptic or oblanceolate-obovate, arranged densely and more or less flatly along a soft, somewhat succulent arching stem. The leafy stem vaguely resembling a fern frond. ‘Summer Snow’ is a white-variegated cultivar, reportedly (Logees Greenhouses) tolerant of sunny, dry conditions.
Landscape uses: A groundcover for moist, more or less shaded places. Sometimes grown in containers and indoors. Can be weedy in appearance and in behavior, and escapes cultivation.
Note: Aluminum-Plant, often grown in pots, is Pilea cadierei Gagnep. & Guillaumin.
*Florida abundance and distribution: Scattered throughout
