Myosoton aquaticum (L.) Moench (=Stellaria aquatica (L.) Scop. can be easily overlooked among the population of Stellaria media (L.) Villars, as both have minute white flowers with 5 deeply bipartite petals. To distinguish them one needs a hand lens to count styles; 3 in S. media and 5 in M. aquaticum. Additionally, capsules are 6-valved with entire apices in S. media but M.aquaticum has 5 valves in capsule with lobes bifid at apices. Capsules are broader and larger in M. aquaticum but with smaller seeds.

Appears to be Stellaria aquatica as per keys & images herein

Al041712:  Another one of those tiny flowers from Chamera Dam for id...
Location Kalatope, Chamba
Altitude 1200 mts
Habit Herb
Habitat wild
Height 12 inches
Season April

This looks like Stellaria media, a common sight here, this is a nearby guess, the flowers in Stellaria are tiny, with white, bilobed petals.... look for opened flowers nearby to confirm the identity...--
Yes Stellaria media
Thank you ... maybe the season for this flowering was finished at that altitude... as with Roylea cinerea, which was also at the same place... however I did check Stellaria at higher altitudes and of course my ignorance shines through... it is as you said... :( A LOT to learn and remember as yet...

Within a couple of weeks it will start producing tiny white flowers. If so it is Stellaria media (Caryophyllaceae).
You are absolutely correct in identifying the plant as Stellaria media
Stellaria media- Chickweed, Badyalu ghas- Before flowering, the herb is used as a delicious vegetable sag.

2816 is Stellaria media (Caryophyllaceae).
2819 is a Brassicaceae member. Some Brassica species.
What I mean to say- two photographs of two different species.

This low herbaceous plant is quite common now-a-days. I do not know if locals use it as food but I believe it is quite nutritious. Here are some photographs.

Herb from Ooty for id 160211MK3: Please help to id this trailing herb. Photographed on a private garden floor at Ooty, Nilgiris.

- Arenaria was my first reaction also, but the basic difference between Arenaria and Stellaria is that the petals of Arenaria are entire (and one would see only 5), and deeply bi-lobed in Stellaria (giving the appearance of 10). One can clearly see 8-10 in your photographs.
- Now I could confirm this plant with deeply lobed petals as Stellaria media (L.) Vill. of Caryophyllaceae
