Scarlet Pimpernel

Anagallis arvensis

Description:

Its creeping, square stems, a foot in length at most, have their eggshaped, stalkless leaves arranged in pairs. The edges of the leaves are entire (i.e. quite free from indentations of any sort), and in whatever direction the stem may run, either along the ground, or at an angle to it, the leaves always keep their faces turned to the light. (from reference)

Habitat:

around the world

Notes:

Medicinal and magical herb which may induce narcotic state in animals if there were to be enough of it available
