Stellaria flaccida

Stellaria flaccida, the forest starwort, is a wildflower found in eastern and southern Australia.

It may grow to 50 cm tall, but usually seen shorter than this.

Flowering occurs from September to February.

It is found on the coast and ranges, often in moist shady places in forest, or on the edge of rainforests.

The generic name Stellaria refers to the star like flowers, and the specific epithet flaccida refers to the weak and small form of the plant.
