About Trinia glauca (L.) Dumort.
Trinia glauca, commonly known as honewort, is a low-growing, hairless glabrous plant. Its stems can grow up to 20 centimeters tall, and the base of each stem is surrounded by abundant fibrous remnants of old petioles. This species is much-branched, with its branches spreading at a wide angle. The leaves are glaucous, and are 2 to 3 times pinnately divided; the upper leaves on the stem are less divided than lower leaves. Its inflorescence is an umbel that bears white flowers and has no sepals. The fruit it produces is ovoid and laterally compressed. In Britain, honewort grows only on dry stony limestone sites, most often in short, open, grazed turf on south-facing slopes. This species is distributed across central and southern Europe, reaching as far north as southern England, and also occurs in southwest Asia.
