montibus excelsioribus. DC. Prod.i. 401 (sect. Arenariun). Walp. Ann. i. 84; ii. 94; iv. 254. 
Genus a Stellaria imprimis petalis integris v. vix emarginatis distinetum, et Swpius habitu faeile 
recognoscendum ; a Spergularia nonnisi stipularum defectu differt. Genera sequentia a variis auc- 
toribus proposita nobis potius subgenera v. sectiones 4renaric sunt. 
l. ARENARIA ab auctoribus recentioribus ad species limitatur valvis capsule 2-dentatis, 2-fidis, 
2-partitisve (unde stylis duplo plures evadunt), et seminibus seabris rarius levibus estrophiolatis.
