Stellaria
''Stellaria'' is a genus of about 190 species of flowering plants in the family Caryophyllaceae, with a cosmopolitan distribution. Common names include starwort, stitchwort and chickweed. Description ''Stellaria'' species are relatively small herbs with simple opposite leaves. It produces small flowers with 5 sepals and 5 white petals each usually deeply cleft, or none at all, all free. Stamens 10 or fewer. Uses Some species, including ''Stellaria media'' which is widely distributed throughout the Northern Hemisphere, are used as leaf vegetables, often raw in salads. This is a favored food of finches and many other seed-eating birds. Chickweeds are used as food plants by the larvae of some Lepidoptera species including angle shades, heart and dart, riband wave, setaceous Hebrew character and the ''Coleophora'' case-bearers ''C. coenosipennella'' (feeds exclusively on ''Stellaria'' species), ''C. lineolea'' (recorded on ''S. graminea''), ''C. lithargyrinella'' (recorded on '' ...

Stellaria Media
''Stellaria media'', chickweed, is an annual and perennial flowering plant in the family Caryophyllaceae.Fernald, M. L. 1950. “Gray's Manual of Botany”. Eight Edition. American Book Company, New York, NY. 1632 pp. It is native to Eurasia and naturalized throughout the world. This species is used as a cooling herbal remedy, and grown as a vegetable crop and ground cover for both human and poultry consumption. It is sometimes called common chickweed to distinguish it from other plants called chickweed. Other common names include chickenwort, craches, maruns, and winterweed. The plant germinates in autumn or late winter, then forms large mats of foliage. Description This species is an annual in colder climates, becoming evergreen and perennial in warmer zones, with weak slender stems, up to . Plants are sparsely hairy. ''Stellaria media'' has one line of fine hairs on the stem. The leaves are oval and opposite, the lower ones with stalks. Flowers are white and small with ...

Stellaria Abortiva
''Stellaria apetala'', commonly known as lesser chickweed, is an annual herbaceous plant in the flowering plant family Caryophyllaceae. It is native to Europe and is an introduced species in North America. Taxonomy ''Stellaria apetala'' forms part of a complex that also includes '' S. media'' and '' S. neglecta''. It was first described by Ucria in 1796 as ''Alsine petala''. In 1828, Du Mortier, describing a form found in Belgium, applied the name ''Alsine pallida'', which Piré (1863) transferred to the genus ''Stellaria''. The taxonomic status of ''Stellaria apetala'' (Dumort.) Piré has been confused. Dandy (1958) and Clapham, Tutin and Warburg (1962) adopted the name ''Stellaria pallida'' but while Clapham et al. treated ''S. apetala'' Ucria as a synonym, Dandy considered this to be a synonym of ''S. media'' L., as also did Chater and Heywood. Whitehead and Sinha, having failed to locate any specimens matching the description in the ''Flora Europaea'', concluded that ''S. ...

Stellaria Alsine
''Stellaria alsine'', the bog stitchwort, is a species of herbaceous perennial flowering plant in the carnation family Caryophyllaceae. It grows in bogs and marshes in Europe and parts of North America. Description Bog stitchwort is a rhizomatous perennial plant, with smooth, four-angled stems up to tall. Its leaves are opposite and narrow, up to long, with untoothed margins but a few marginal hairs towards the leaf-base. The flowers are borne in cymes of 1–5, arising from the axils of the higher leaves. Each flower is around in diameter, with 10 stamens, 3 stigmas, five lanceolate–triangular, green-coloured but scarious-margined sepals, and five slightly shorter white petals. The petals are divided into two almost to their base with the two halves angled apart, so that the two halves of each petal lie over parts of adjacent sepals. Ecology Bog stitchwort grows in various types of wetland habitat; in the British Isles, it is especially characteristic of areas poached by c ...

Greater Stitchwort
''Rabelera holostea'', known as greater stitchwort, greater starwort, and addersmeat, is a perennial herbaceous flowering plant in the family Caryophyllaceae. It was formerly placed in the genus ''Stellaria'', as ''Stellaria holostea'', but was transferred to the genus '' Rabelera'' in 2019 based on phylogenetic analyses.
