Question
I saw this wildflower mid-October in a moist (not entirely swampy) area near the trail in some conservation land in Lexington, MA. GoBotany doesn't offer Stellaria aquatica as an option, but it seems to look most like that. Any thoughts?
Answer
Dear bkatzenberg, good afternoon to you. Your plant could be Myosoton aquaticum (synonym: Stellaria aquatica), but I can't see the number of styles in the flower to know for certain which genus I am examining. You may well be correct with this hypothesis as the general features of the plant fit for Myosoton aquaticum. Best wishes.
