Description[#119]
Remarks[#119] [“22 May. . . A little clammy hairy cerastium (?) (like a Cerastium viscosum, slender and erect), about three inches high, will open in a day or two on the rock near the bass.” “31 May. . . That little cerastium on the rock at the Island, noticed the 22d, which probably opened about that time, is now out of bloom. It is about three inches high and has long pods, more than twice the length of the calyx, which turn upward. I have seen no petals. It seems to be the C. nutans (?), from size, erectness, and form of the pods and leaves. It has viscid hairs or with glands at end.” “5 June. . . I must call that cerastium of May 22nd C. nutans (??), at least for the present, though I do not see grooves in stem. Oakes, in his catalogue in Thomspon/s “History of Vermont”, says it is not found in northeast out of that State. The pods of the common one also turn upward. It is about four-flowered; no petals; pods, which formed in tumbler, more than twice but not thrice as long as calyx, bent down nearly at right angles with peduncles and then curving upward.” Journal 8: 352-3; 360; 366-7. 1856
