They are herbs, with an annual life span and some act as [[winter annuals]]. They have slender [[root]]s and thin [[Plant stem|stem]]s that are upright or ascending. The genus name was given by Linnaeus, and named because of the sprawling nature of the plants: [Greek holos, meaning whole or all, and osteon, meaning bone, because of the frailty of the plant.<br /> <br /> Flowers are bisexual but sometimes also unisexual and pistillate. Flowers are [[hypogynous]], have 5 [[sepals]] that are distinct and green in color and lanceolate to ovate in shape and 2.5-4.5 mm long. Typically with no [[stipule]]s. The flowers have 5 petals that are white to soft pink in color and are clawed. Plants typically are found as small inconspicuous early spring blooming plants with short life spans. <br /> <br /> Common names for the plants in this genus include:<br /> * Jagged chickweed<br /> * ying gu cao <br /> <br /> [http://www.efloras.org/florataxon.aspx?flora_id=1&amp;taxon_id=115639]<br /> [[Category:Caryophyllaceae]]<br /> <br /> {{Caryophyllales-stub}}</div>
