This milk purslane is at Purdue Hort Park, July 29, 2009. The scientific name is Chamaesyce maculata. Once it was classified as one of the Euphorbias but now it is considered a Chamaesyce. This is a very common plant. Look down at your feet as you are walking around and you'll see some. Break off a bit of stem or leaf and the milky latex sap oozing out will identify it.
