User's notes
An almost succulent style ground creeper (photo 3), with pure white underground runners from which it reshoots. The tiny 5-petalled white flowers have a yellow running to grey-brown throat, overtopped by a pink-purple anther (photos 1 & 2). The main stems change direction at each node as they run along the ground (photo 4). This photo also highlights the formation of the flower buds /seed pods. Photo 5 shows the older darker leaves closest to the ground and the fresh bright green shoots of newer growth.
