{{Inc| Pyxidanthera (Greek, a small box and anthera; the anthers opening transversely like the lid of a box). Diapensiacex. Pyxie. Flowering Moss. Pine- Barren Beauty. An evergreen creeping plant found in cushion-like masses in the sandy pine lands of N. J. to N. C. When it flowers in early April to early May, its white starry blossoms dot the light green or brownish green lf. and st. cushions. It grows best in moist sandy soil in the full sunlight and sometimes on gravel slopes of slight inclination. When growing amongst fallen lvs., its sts. become longer and the whole plant more open in character. The plant is rarely cult., although adapted to rock-gardens in sandy or gravelly pockets. Related to Diapensia, an alpine plant, and slightly to Galax. The only species is P. barbulata, Michx. An evergreen herb with depressed prostrate nearly glabrous sts., much branched at the base and creeping: lvs. numerous, blades leathery, linear-oblan- ceolate, or linear-elliptic, imbricated, small, 1/4in. long: calyx campanulate, lobes 5, oblong, obtuse; corolla white, tube oblong-campanulate, petals 5, spatulate to obovate, spreading; anthers of 5 stamens yellow, opening transversely; ovary 3-celled: caps. 3-valved, few-seeded. }} Describe the plant here... ==Cultivation==  ===Propagation===  ===Pests and diseases===  ==Species==  ==Gallery== {{photo-sources}} <gallery> Image:Upload.png| photo 1 Image:Upload.png| photo 2 Image:Upload.png| photo 3 </gallery> ==References== *[[Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture]], by L.
