Chamaesyce albomarginata is a prostrate herb found on dry sandy benches along creeks, in sidewalks and driveways,
and in waste areas throughout most of the lower to middle elevations of the Gila National Forest.
Although the floral bracts are bright white and much more noticeable, the name "albomarginata" actually refers
to a thin whitish margin along the leaf.
