Sagina diemensis (Caryophyllaceae) not in The Student's Flora


Sagina diemensis (tasmanian pearlwort) is a very rare native species found only on a few areas of limestone or dolomite rocks. It is a low growing herb, with a persistent rosette. Its flowers are much more conspicuous than the other species of this genus. Like other Sagina, the leaves are narrow and pointed, but distinctively, are covered in glandular hairs.
