Wildflowers of Ainsworth: Lesser Stitchwort

LesserStitchwort
(Click on images to enlarge)

Small white flowers on long, spindly stems. Each flower has five petals, but each petal is so deeply cleft that at first I thought there were 10 of them.

The leaves are narrow, lance-shaped, entire; set opposite each other on the stem.
