Stellaria sessiliflora / Miyamahakobe ミヤマハコベ

 
Stellaria sessiliflora, a perennial herb, occurs in damp places, like spaces on mountain rivers; stems crawl on the ground, and upper parts slope upward to 20- 40 cm in height. Leaves are yellow-green, of opposite phyllotaxis, in the shape of a broad ovate leaf. 1- 3.5 cm in length, with bases somewhat cordate; surfaces with no hairs, and the backsides have some micritrichias on veins. Around 1cm across, white flowers come at the apexes of stalks that emerge from the axils. As each of the five petals deepens, they appear 10-petalled. Bloom time: May-July.
