Description

I sing the praises of the lowly Sand Jointweed ( Polygonella articulata ). It grows primarily in the sandy area north of the Old Colony Nature Trail, in the East End of Provincetown, right where my dog and I hike every day. It is lowly- just a few inches tall- and almost always recumbent or absolutely prostrate on the sand.
