32. Stellaria humifusa Rottb. 



Lge. Consp. Fl. firoenl. p. 28 & 244. Berlin Kärlv. p. 30. 



Not common; on the beach and in birds' islets. The tufts are 

 as a rule small (diameter of up to 5 ctm.) with very short and 

 short jointed stems creeping closely to the ground, but in manured 

 places and in good shelter they may become up to 30 ctm. in 

 diameter. In shade of rocks or algae washed ashore it becomes 

 stretched stem joints (until 3 ctm.) and large leaves (until 1 2 mm.) ; 

 but on sand and oozy flats it is utterly small-leaved. Flowers rather 

 sparingly in July, sets ripe fruit.

Widely distributed in humid places, as well on the coast as 

 in the interior and high up in the mountains, but thrives best on 

 the coast and is fond of the manured spots round Greenland 

 tent and dwelling places, where it often forms a dense cover and 

 colours the ground white with its numerous flowers (diameter of 

 until 1 5 mm.) ; sets abundant ripe fruit.
