Compare to Creeping Charlie ⇢ Glechoma hederacea.

It's a weed to some, but the little lavender blossoms are valuable for pollinators.... By-the-way, it's also edible for humans.... Young leaves can be eaten raw or cooked. The leaves have a mild mint-like flavor and can be tossed into salads to add a slight aromatic tang. Creeping Charlie leaves can also be cooked like spinach, added to soups, stews, or omelettes. Tea is made from the fresh or dried leaves. It is often used mixed with verbena leaves or lovage. The wild edible has been added to beer in much the same way as hops in order to clear it and also to improve its flavor -- it's a major ingredient in Belgium Wild Beer. This minty edible contains a lot of vitamin C and offers a multitude of health benefits.

Unfortunately, there are more articles on the internet about eradicating it than there are about making use of it...

Its little light purple colored flowers are valued by pollinators, too...

No, it is not Glechoma hederacea which has also been a problem here. This one doesn't have the scent and is very tiny. I have mostly removed creeping charlie and the lawn treatment works on that but not on this tiny stuff.

I have it too Carol, but I also don't know what it's called, and yes, I have Creeping Charlie too, so I know it's not that either ;)

I took more photos. This weed is shiny green, not removable by lifting like Glechoma. It smells only green and has emerged in flower beds, too. There isn't any strong scent of Glechoma whatsoever

I pulled up one Glechoma for comparison of leaf size.You can see the one large leaf I placed next to the pesky weed. The leaves looks identical in shape.

It is shiny, not hairy and fuzzy like the Creeping Charlie but the leaves look very similar in shape. I have not had an infestation of Glechoma hederacea and that responds to treatment while this one seems immune.

Dichondra?

I don't think it's Dichondra , but thanks for the suggestion. Dichondra seems to have a smooth edge to the leaf.

dbarron it's driving me nuts! It does not mature into a large plant but remains flat and tiny. That's why I need to find the name.

I think I'm seeing Ranunculus-like seed pods?

Hmm, I think it doesn't flower in an obvious manner (ie not showy or attention getting at all). That eliminates I think all the ranunculus family types that I know.

I have never noticed flowers but see all other weed flowers from various Veronica lawn weeds, Glechoma, Hypericum, etc. But it has to flower because it's emerging all over my property! It likes moist conditions. It has to be one of those inconspicuous flowers. I searched the database of the USDA for Ranunculus but couldn't find anything . Sigh....

Oh, I'm sure it's a flowering plant, just that the inflorescence is insignificant. I believe it also spreads by stolons.

Does Centella grow there?

Hmm, could be....looks very close, but the leaf lobes on centella asiatica look like they come to kinda points, where this is more rounded?

Centella is documented from this state, within 20 miles in fact.

I think Centella leaves are much larger than the plants growing here. Maybe tomorrow I can dig up an entire colony, rinse off and see what is present as in any seed pods or other identifying characteristics.

Compare to Hydrocotyle sibthorpioides. I've included a photo, to show more detail of the inflorescence. Those plants prefer shade, but can grow in sunny places if enough moisture is available.

Jekeesl, I believe you have named the plant! It's funny how the leaf shape is so similar to Glechoma. Thank you!

This one has eluded identification by the lawn service so they can now investigate how to eradicate it. The USDA map shows few areas in NC and not near my county. This is surprising because the speed at which it has spread here is shocking.

You're welcome, carol. And you are right about its aggressive nature. The BONAP map does not reflect this plant's distribution. It is now commonly found, but often overlooked in much of Arkansas.

With the surplus rainfall here after 27" in a six-week period of time, then almost daily thunderstorms.... it has spread everywhere. I won't be able to remove it from my garden beds. There will be billions of seeds!

Same here...it was already beyond control when I moved in :(

The only sane control would be complete sterilization or concrete (for me). Even then I'm sure I'd just catch it again from the neighbors.

It's a plague!

Those Hydrocotyle flowers are what I was seeing as Ranunculus fruit in Carol's picture with the coin.

Yes flora, that is what you saw! It's all so tiny , inconspicuous until you get it under magnification.
