semenník

Semenník is a genus of flowering plants in the family Caryophyllaceae, commonly known as stitchworts. These plants are native to Europe and Asia, and some species have been introduced to other parts of the world. Semenník species are typically small, herbaceous annuals or perennials, often with delicate white or pink flowers. They are characterized by their star-shaped flowers with deeply divided petals, which give them their common name, as they can resemble stitches. The leaves are usually linear or lanceolate.

The genus Semenník is closely related to the genus Stellaria. Distinguishing between species can sometimes be challenging due to variations in leaf shape, petal indentation, and the number of stamens. Semenník plants often grow in a variety of habitats, including meadows, woodlands, and disturbed ground. Some species are considered weeds, while others are valued for their ornamental qualities in gardens. Their seeds are typically small and dispersed by various means.
