Respected all,

This one is Spergula marina (L.) Besser, very similar to Spergula arvensis L. but differing from it mainly in flower colour and glandular hairs on sepals and pedicels.

Thanks, Yogesh ji.

There seems to be some confusion here about the correct nomenclature.

Catalogue of Life gives two names as below:

Spergula marina Dufour ex Steud. being a syn. of Spergularia rubra (L.) J. Presl & C. Presl with distribution as Jammu & Kashmir (Kashmir), India (Haryana, Uttar Pradesh), Pakistan (Sind, Baluchistan, Quetta, N.W.Frontier Prov., Swat, Pakistani Punjab, Rawalpindi).

Spergula marina (L.) Bartl. & H. L. Wendl. being a syn. of Spergularia marina (L.) Besser with no distribution in our area.

As per keys in Flora of North America, stamens are Stamens 6-10 in Spergularia rubra and Stamens 1-5 in Spergularia salina (syn. of Spergularia marina (L.) Besser)

So we have to go with Spergularia rubra (L.) J. Presl & C. Presl
