This is common in western Japan. It is closely allied to Stellaria 

 fomentosa Maxim., but is more robust and petals are always present ; and it 

 also differs from S. saxatilis Ham., which has a paniculate inflorescence. 

 I have named it in memory of Tomiziro Uchiyama, a chief horticulturist 

 of the Botanic Garden, Science College, Imperial University of Tokyo.
