Stellaria
media is a biennial herb that is commonly found
everywhere across the country. Stems crawl along the ground, and
the upper parts reach 10-20 cm in height, with soft hairs on one
side. Leaves are ovate with acute tips, 1- 2 cm in length, with
a bit of hair on the lower parts; margins entire, occasionally
wavy, and those leaves on the lower legs have petioles, while
those on the upper parts do not. Flowers come in cymes; petals
are white, 5 in number, each deeply cut in, shorter than the
sepals. Bloom time: January-December.
