Euphorbia sp
Green weed about 12cm tall
Front yard in partial shade
It's definitely a Eurphorbia, maybe E.peplus. Be careful with the sap from Euphorbiaceae. It's toxic and can cause a nasty rash on the skin.
Thank you jprat001. I'll look later this week at the milky sap to confirm.
could be petty spurge? or a type of upright weedy spurge. if you break the stem and it has milky sap, its in the euphorbiaceae family
