Thyme-leaved Sandwort (Arenaria serpyllifolia) is an edible plant from Eurasia. The plant is common, but difficult to find due to its small size.
Thyme-leaved sandwort is often confused for chickweeds. Chickweeds have notched petals, while Thyme-leaved sandwort petals are unnotched.
The plant can be used as an herb. It has also been used medicinally to relieve cough, cleanse the blood, and induce urination.
