**Physical Characteristics:**

Flea ornaments, small herbs of one or two years, seem to be the traces of nature's delicate brush. The whole plant is covered with white pubescence, like the morning sun shining on white feathers, light and gentle. The stems are clustered, the lower part lies flat, as if it is a small elf lying gently on the ground, and the upper part is erect, 10-30 cm high, densely hairy, and people can't help but want to caress it with their hands. The leaves are small, round-ovate, sparsely pubescent on both sides, with eyelashes, and fine papillary glands dotted in between, as if they were patches of soft feathers.

**Growth Habits:**

Fleas are like nature's palette, scattered around the 1,400m above sea level. It likes to grow on roadsides, wastelands, and fields, as if to show its beauty to everyone who passes by. The one-year or two-year life cycle seems to be a short but beautiful journey that it gently leaves on the earth.

**The Beauty of Flowers:**

In the spring, when the earth revives, the flea flowers are like dancing elves, the inflorescences are sparsely grown at the end of the branches, and the bracts and bracts are leafy, ovate, densely pubescent, as if the white petals flutter gently. The peduncle is slender, densely pubescent and glandularly hairy, and as light as a feather. The lamellae are lanceolate, hairy on the back, and membranous on the edges, as if they were a beautiful dress. The petals are obovate, white and flawless, and the whole edge is like a morning dewdrop, crystal clear. The stamens 10 and the flower column 3 make up this picture of natural beauty.

**Gift of Fruit:**

If you look closely, the flea-adorned fruit is like a small gem, and if you look closely, you will find that the fruit is kidney-shaped, light brown and densely protruded like small wart-like protrusions, as if it were a gift from the earth. The flowering period is from April to May, and the fruiting period is from May to June, which is like a short but beautiful encounter.

**Efficacy value:**

This humble little herb is more than just a work of art in nature, it is rich in benefits and medicinal properties. Whole herbal medicine, with the effect of clearing heat and detoxifying, brightening the eye, is a treasure in Chinese herbal medicine. It is used to treat acute conjunctivitis, styes, sore throats and other ailments, as if it were a precious medicine prepared by nature for us.
