Anagallis
Definition
An historical genus of annual or perennial herbaceous plants in the family Primulaceae (currently mostly merged into the genus Lysimachia), distributed globally across temperate and subtropical regions. These small-sized plants are structurally recognized by their prostrate or ascending stems, opposite leaves, and solitary axillary flowers with bright shades of red, blue, or pink, utilized both in folk medicine due to their saponin content and as ornamental groundcovers.
