Asperugo procumbens, known as German madwort, is the single species in the monotypic plant genus Asperugo. This plant is native to Europe and temperate parts of Asia but has been introduced elsewhere by humans.
Asperugo procumbens is an annual plant with stems that grow 20 to 60 centimeters long. The stems trail along the ground, but do not root at the nodes. The leaves are most often attached alternately to the stems, but can be attached oppositely on the stems towards their ends.
