Arenaria kansuensis

Credit: Harvard University Herbaria

Herbs annual or perennial, rarely biennial. Stems erect or rarely creeping, often caespitose or pulvinate. Leaves opposite, rarely whorled; leaf blade linear to elliptic, ovate, or orbicular, usually flat, margin entire. Flowers solitary or numerous in cymes, actinomorphic. Sepals 4 or 5, apex entire, rarely emarginate. Petals 4 or 5, sometimes absent, apex entire to toothed, 2-cleft, or fimbriate. Stamens (2--5 or 8 or)10. Ovary 1-loculed; ovules numerous. Styles 2 or 3(--5). Capsule ovoid, obovoid, or globose, usually shorter than persistent sepals, rarely equaling or longer than them, 3- or 6-valved. Seeds reniform or subovoid, flattened, smooth, tuberculate, or narrowly winged.

More than 300 species: N temperate to arctic regions; 102 species (79 endemic) in China.

Arenaria has been subdivided into ten subgenera, several of which were further divided into sections and series (McNeill, Notes Roy. Bot. Gard. Edinburgh 24: 79–155. 1962). Six subgenera are represented in China, one of which ( A. subgen. Odontostemma ) contains more than half the species.

Arenaria ladyginii Kozhevnikov (Novosti Sist. Vyssh. Rast. 21: 67. 1984) was described from Xizang. However, the type has not been seen by the present authors and its identity could not be ascertained.
