Weed ID

I have a pressed plant my teacher calls Florida Pursley (some type of weed) It's low growing with small white flowers. I googled Florida Pursley, but it displayed only 1 result that proved that it exists. All it was, was a chart about what to use to kill particular weeds. If you know what Florida Pursley is, it'd help if i knew the more common, common name. I need to look it up and get the scientific name for class. thanks.

no. I thought that too at first, but it doesn't look like that. If i can find a live one growing in the neighborhood I'll take a picture of it.

Florida Pusley (Richardia scabra) Spelling matters! Your teacher should know that, lol!

If this isn't your plant, I'll rap my own knuckles with a ruler.

Here is a link that might be useful: Common roadside/garden/lawn weed

I replied on the other thread too, but you ARE correct and my horticulture teacher IS NOT. Now, I can glue it down and label it. Thanks!
