Cerastium arcticum |
Cerastium (Mouse-ear chickweed) is a genus of plant belonging to the family Caryophyllaceae.
Cerastium species are used as food plants by the larvae of some Lepidoptera species including Coleophora chalcogrammella (which feeds exclusively on Cerastium arvense) and Coleophora striatipennella (which has been recorded on Cerastium fontanum).
