Flowering and fruiting: Throughout the year Weed along the roadsides and degraded forest areas in the high ranges India, Bhutan and Nepal Cerastium glomeratum is a species of flowering plant in the pink family known by the common names sticky mouse-ear chickweed and clammy chickweed. It is probably native to Eurasia but it is known on most continents as an introduced species. It grows in many types of habitat. This is an annual herb growing from a slender taproot. It produces a branched, hairy stem up to 40 or 45 centimeters tall. The hairy leaves are up to 2 or 3 centimeters long. The inflorescence bears as few as 3 or as many as 50 small flowers. The flower has five hairy green sepals which are occasionally red-tipped, and five white two-lobed petals which are a few millimeters long and generally shorter than the sepals. Some flowers lack petals. The fruit is a capsule less than a centimeter long which is tipped with ten tiny teeth. (From Wikipedia on 10.3.14)
Panipat 2014: Cearstium fontanum for validation:: NS March 07 : 3 posts by 2 authors. Attachments (5). This chickweed was shot from a nursery in Panipat... perhaps an introduced wild species, confined only to places where plants brought from other places are kept... Please help to get exact id.. I took this as Cerastium fontanum based on earlier discussions.. please validate/correct the id.. very close looking species is Cerastium glomeratum.. Yes ... It is clearly C. glomeratum on two counts. Petals are longer than sepals (shorter in C. fontanum) pedicels are shorter than capsule/flower (much longer in C. fontanum) and flowers appearing like glomerule (not so in C. fontanum). Thanks a lot Sir, for such a quick and descriptive reply...
