Cerastium dahuricum from Apharwat, Kashmir: Cerastium dahuricum Fisch. in Sprengel, Pungill. Pl. Minus Cogn. 2:65. 1815

This species may be confused with Myosoton aquaticum in general appearance and leaves but is quite distinct in longer calyx (8-10 mm as against 4-5 mm), shortly bilobed petals, and capsule opening by short teeth and
amplexicaule leaves. Perennial herb with weak stems, scarcely branched leaves up to 7 cm long and up to 3 cm broad, ovate-lanceolate, base amplexicaule; pedicels much longer than calyx; sepals 8-10 mm; capsule twice
as long as calyx with 10 revolute teeth at tip.

Photographed from Apharwat Kashmir in July, 3200 m alt., growing among low shrubs.
