Read about Alsine in the Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture
Alsine (Greek for grove, where some species grow). Caryophyllàceae. A few species of Alsine are in the market, mostly for rock-gardening. There is much difference among botanists as to the standing of the genus Alsine. Some persons refer it to Arenaria, others make it a tenable name to replace Stellaria, and Pax in Engler and Prantl's Pflanzenfamilien retains it for about sixty species, mostly in the temperate and cold parts of the northern hemisphere, and distinguishes both Arenaria and Stellaria; for the purposes of this Cyclopedia it seems to be desirable to follow the Index Kewensis disposition; and the few cultivated species are therefore accounted for under Arenaria.
