Anagallis is a genus of about 20-25 species of flowering plants in the myrsine family Myrsinaceae, commonly called pimpernel and perhaps best known for the Scarlet pimpernel referred to in literature. They were formerly classified as members of the primrose family (Primulaceae), but a study by Källersjö et al (1999; see references) showed clearly that they belong to the Myrsinaceae.

These are annual or perennial plants, growing in tufts on weedy and uncultivated areas. The stems are prostrate with ovate to cordate leaves. The flowers of the different species show miscellaneous colors. They are radially symmetrical with 5 petals. They grow usually in the leaf axils, but sometimes as short spikes at the top of the stem. Pimpernel flowers remain open only in sunshine.

@marinemajor That will upset Big 10 fans, but I believe the BCS punishes the Big 10 for not having a league championship game.
