Wedge Spurge (Chamaesyce deltoidei ssp. serpyllum) is a Wiry-stemmed, matting, perennial herb with tiny triangular to oval leaves. Male and female flowers are arranged together in a cup-like structure. The plant produces three-seeded fruits and exists nowhere but the pine rocklands and roadsides on Big Pine Key in Monroe County, Florida.
