Strolling along mountain rivers
in forests, you may encounter this perennial, Stellaria
diversiflora: stems with no hairs crawling on the ground and
the upper parts sloping upward to become 10- 30 cm in height. The
leaves are arranged in a triangular-ovate shape, oppositely, with
short hairs. Peduncles emerge from the axils on the upper parts and
bear white flowers 1- 1.5 cm in diameter. Petals are five, cleft
halfway. Stamens are 10, and styles (pistils) number three in all.
Bloom time: May-July.
