    This small plant was found in a very dry sandy area of Woodlawn Preserve. I'm guessing it's a Euphorbia? Thank You,

    Answer

    Dear Auntie, this is a species of Euphorbia, specifically these are in section Chamaesyce (called sandmat). I can't tell you which species you have because I need a close-up of the stem and the capsules to see if they are pubescent or not. If you have those images, upload them and I will be able to help further.
