Description
Lipandra has only one species. Lipandra is a non-aromatic, glabrous annual herb. The stems grow erect to ascending or prostrate and are branched with usually alternate, basally sometimes nearly opposite branches. The leaf blade is thin, ovate-elliptic, with entire margins. The inflorescences consist of loose dichasia in the axils of leaf-like bracts, sometimes of more condensed glomerules of flowers arranged spicately. The fruit has a membranous pericarp, which is free from the seed. The horizontally orientated seeds are compressed-globose. Lipandra is distributed in most regions of Europe and in temperate Asia. It is widely naturalized elsewhere, as in North America.
