A genus of small, often prostrate plants in the spurge family, including common weeds like spotted spurge, found worldwide in warm climates.
From Greek 'chamae' (low, dwarf) and possibly a proper name. The name reflects these plants' typically low-growing, spreading habit.
Spotted spurge is a tiny weed that's incredibly annoying to gardeners, but it's actually brilliant at survival—it produces thousands of seeds and can complete an entire life cycle in just 6 weeks, making it nearly impossible to eliminate.
