Big patches of this plant was growing in the dirt (near grass). It grew tangled and
very low to the ground. I didn't get any pictures at that location, but picked some
and took pictures while holding it on the final leg of my hike. I didn't realize,
but there is an Annual Knawel (this plant) and a Perennial Knawel
(Scleranthus perennis). The Perennial Knawel has sepals that are obtouse to
rounded at the apex and the floral bracts are mostly shorter than the flowers.
The Annual Knawel has acute-tipped sepals and bracts equaling or exceeding the
flowers.
