Boerhavia gracillima, also known as the slimstalk spiderling, is a plant species found in Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, and Mexico. It thrives in dry, rocky environments such as grasslands, desert scrub, roadsides, and pinyon-juniper woodlands. This perennial herb has a woody base and its stems can be either trailing or erect with multiple branches. The leaves are mostly found on the lower half of the plant and decrease in size towards the top. The plant produces small red flowers, up to 4.5 mm in length, which grow in clusters in the leaf axils or at the tips of the stems.
