    Even my camera struggles on this...pics far from clear.

    Suggest you will need to go outside and have a close look.
    Pull it out gentle to see if it is a creeper or a rosette with roots. SOLEIROLIA  SOLEIROLII 06-02-2012 09-33-11.JPG SOLEIROLIA  SOLEIROLII 06-02-2012 09-32-53.JPG

    Hello @Silver surfer

    I have just been out, pulled up a Small Clump, placed it on some White Paper Towel and took a Few Photos:

    It looks to be a Rosette with Fine Roots.

    Thanks

    • Looks a match to me for Cardamine hirsuta.

    • Structure and Shape: The leaves are pinnately compound, meaning they have a central stem (rachis) with multiple leaflets arranged on either side. There are typically 3 to 7 pairs (sometimes 5-15) of lateral leaflets, plus a single, distinct, terminal leaflet.
    I have trimmed my pic below to try and clearly show a single pinnately compound leaflet.
    I hope this helps to clarify what you are seeing on your tissue...use a pin to tease it appart.
