Allseed

Allseed is a plant with tiny flowers. The delicate, forked stems are grayish-green. It used to be common in the Netherlands in the sandy regions but is now mostly found in dampish less calcium-rich parts of the dunes. Dune slacks and dune pastures on the Wadden Islands is a good place to look for it. Another place you find it is on fields that are filled with water in the winter for skating.
