Pseudostellaria heterantha, a perennial 5- 15 cm in
height, inhabits damp places in the shade of trees in
mountainous regions, with stems having 1- 2 vertical rows of
hairs. Leaves are opposite; the blades are oblanceolate to
oval-oblanceolate, 1- 4 cm long, tapering to a short petiole;
the leaf edges at the base have sparse hairs, and the tips are
sharp. White, 1 cm in diameter, five-petaled flowers appear on
the ends of slender peduncles borne in the axils. The
reddish-purple anthers contrast vividly with the white petals.
Bloom time: April-June.
