Lippia nodiflora, commonly known as Matchweed and Turkey Tangle Frogfruit, is a flowering, broadleaf plant. It is grows in a groundcover or turflike manner, and is often present in yards.
The inflorescence consists of a purple-coloured centre encircled by small white-to-pink flowers. The flower takes on a match-like look, which is why the plant is called matchweed.
Matchweed is a native of North America and can be found in various locations throughout the continent.
