Caryophyllaceae Week pink OR carnation family * Stellaria ¿ graminea * L. ?
Dear friends, This plant photos were posted for ID query (eFI archive<https://groups.google.com/d/msg/indiantreepix/_NSDKV8OG7Q/EyK4WL02fF0J> ) with comments following from: *Gurcharan ji*: Perhaps needs rechecking. The petals seem distinctly longer than sepals. *Balkar ji*: May be Stellaria semivestita *Tabish*: Does agree with Stellaria graminea - petals are supposed to be equaling or longer than sepals http://www.illinoiswildflowers.info/weeds/plants/gr_chickweed.htm<http://www.google.com/url?q=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.illinoiswildflowers.info%2Fweeds%2Fplants%2Fgr_chickweed.htm%2522&sa=D&sntz=1&usg=AFrqEzdeyy2Sm56pvrVsUKehRYl6bF3EoQ> http://www.floracyberia.net/spermatophyta/angiospermae/dicotyledoneae/caryophyllaceae/stellaria_graminea.html<http://www.google.com/url?q=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.floracyberia.net%2Fspermatophyta%2Fangiospermae%2Fdicotyledoneae%2Fcaryophyllaceae%2Fstellaria_graminea.html&sa=D&sntz=1&usg=AFrqEzcEwDHT7eB_dgqS2tO1UBrNBlZWzA> Please validate to resolve the ID. at Valley of Flowers on 02 AUG 12 [image: Stellaria graminea]<http://www.google.com/url?q=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.flickr.com%2Fphotos%2Fdinesh_valke%2F7814662842%2F&sa=D&sntz=1&usg=AFrqEzd76NJnnhU6cQINiTYBKuByVApWbQ> [image: Stellaria graminea]<http://www.google.com/url?q=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.flickr.com%2Fphotos%2Fdinesh_valke%2F7814668112%2F&sa=D&sntz=1&usg=AFrqEzcf4zCuzc87NyH6-xll8Np8v9iZCw> Regards.
