Anagallis arvensis Linn. Primulaceae. PIMPERNEL. POOR MAN'S WEATHERGLASS. SHEPHERD'S CLOCK. Europe and temperate Asia. Pimpernel, according to Fraas, [1] is eaten as greens in the Levant. Johnson [2] says it forms a part of salads in France and Germany. The flowers close at the approach of bad weather, hence the name, poor man's weatherglass.
