Phemeranthus brevicaulis

Phemeranthus brevicaulis, also known as the five-stamened rockcress or short-hooded phlox-pink, is a species of flowering plant in the family Montiaceae.

The plant has been used in traditional medicine for its anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties, which may help to reduce pain and swelling, and combat infections.

Research has also suggested that Phemeranthus brevicaulis may have various health benefits, including antioxidant and antitumor activities, although more studies are needed to confirm these effects.

In herbal preparations, the plant is often used in teas, infusions, and tinctures, and is sometimes combined with other herbs to enhance its medicinal properties.
