This delicate looking plant is easy to overlook. 这种看起来特别娇嫩植物很容易被人忽视。

The fine prostrate stems and tiny pink flowers hug the silty ground. 精致的俯卧茎和粉红色的小花拥抱着淤泥地表。

Sometimes confused with Spergularia marina, a weed of disturbed ground, it can be distinguished by its seeds. 很多时候人们容易把它和玛丽娜搞混淆，但可以通过种子来区别。

Those of S.Diandra are unwinged. They are color-coded: black, brown or yellow. The black germinate quickly, while the yellow germinate the most slowly. 黛安爪的种子是没有翅膀的。种子的颜色有多种：黑色、棕色或黄色。黑色繁衍得很快, 而黄色繁衍得最慢。

By staggering germination the young plants’ chances of survival are increased.
