A creeping, mat-forming perennial plant of the western Mediterranean islands, Soleirolia soleirolii (family Urticaceae), having tiny pale green leaves and tiny solitary green flowers in the axils of the leaves, which in many places with a mild climate is cultivated in rock gardens and cool greenhouses and occurs naturalized on shady walls and banks.
