Stellaria subumbellata Edgew. ex Edgew. & Hook. fil.

Comments

provided by eFloras
Species nos. 53–57 are members of Stellaria sect. Adenonema (Bunge) Turczaninow. This group is in need of thorough revision. There are now several different ideas on which of these taxa should be recognized. It is also possible that additional taxa may (or may not) belong to this section.

In addition, Kozhevnikov described Stellaria divnogorskajae (Novosti. Sist. Vyssh. Rast. 20: 103. 1983) based on a specimen from Kaschgaria (Xinjiang). It is similar in size to S. arenarioides (stems 5–7 cm), with oblong-elliptic leaves, 4- or 5-merous flowers, 2 styles, and a 4-valved capsule. He also described S. divnogorskajae var. pilosa (Novosti Sist. Vyssh. Rast. 20: 104. 1983) based on a specimen from Tagdumbasch-Pamir (Xinjiang), noting that the plant is pilose throughout. The present authors have seen no material of either taxon.
