Notes:
Sepals 5; Petals -; Stamens 2; styles 3; capsule teeth 3; capsule valves 3; lvs 3-nerved. Bears some resemblance to Minuartia (Alsine) tenuifolia but absence of petals and shorter capsules make this not. (Healy AJ 16/9/52)I have no doubt that this is an apetalous form of A. tenuifolia. Sepals glandular hairy. (Healy AJ 8/10/1953)
