Cornish Moneywort is
a rather scarce species which only very locally in damp shaded
places in South England, South Wales, the Channel Islands, Lewis
and Kerry. It looks very much like Ivy-leaved Speedwell (Veronica
hederifolia), an annual plant of disturbed ground.
Cornish Moneywort is a prostate, slightly hairy perennial. It has
thread-like branched stems, which are able to root at the nodes.
The long-stalked leaves are pale-green and very bluntly toothed.
The flowers (1.5-2.5 mm) are white or cream an may be flushed with
pink, especially on the lower lobes. They are solitary and borne
on slender stalks, which rise from the base of the leaves.
