davecz2Description
A very tiny 1/8" wide flower.
A tiny white to bluish, 5-parted flower that is 1/8" wide.
It likes an upland woods habitat.
My ID comes from the coarsely hairy leaves differentiating it from Hackelia virginiana with it's soft texture from short hairs
A photo of the fruit would have made this ID easier
