Field Milkwort

Field Milkwort Polygala sanguinea grows in fields and open woods. It has simple narrow leaves and clover-like clusters of pink or whitish flowers at the tips of stem branches. The tiny individual flowers in a cluster are typical of the Milkwort Family in having 5 sepals two of which (the wings) are larger and coloured like the petals. [CH] {GW}
