| Caryophyllaceae | Cerastium arvense | Field Chickweed | Disturbed areas. | Native of Eurasia. Introduced at scattered locations in ne. North America, including Maryland and New Jersey (FNA). |  (c) Nesterova, Svetlana - CC-BY-NC, permission granted to NCBG |
| Caryophyllaceae | Cerastium brachypetalum | Gray Mouse-ear | Lawns, roadsides, disturbed areas. | Native of Europe. The reports of C. tetrandrum for e. Virginia in Fernald (1950) and Gleason & Cronquist (1952) are actually this species. |  (c) Jaxon - CC-BY-NC, permission granted to NCBG |
| Caryophyllaceae | Cerastium brachypodum | Disturbed areas, roadsides, fields, lawns. | Illinois west to Alberta and Oregon, south to North Carolina, nc. Georgia (Jones & Coile 1988), and Arizona. This taxon is perhaps only introduced in the eastern parts of our region from farther west. |  (c) Wong, Michelle - CC-BY | |

| Caryophyllaceae | Cerastium parvum | Pygmy Starwort | Ditches and other moist, disturbed areas. | Native of South America. It is plausible that this is an amphitropical species, and that the Southeastern US distribution is native. |  (c) Weakley, Alan |

| Caryophyllaceae | Cerastium tomentosum | Snow-in-summer, Dusty Miller | Disturbed areas. | Native of Mediterranean Europe. This species is "cultivated and sometimes escaped" in scattered locations in Pennsylvania (Rhoads & Klein 1993; Rhoads & Block 2007).
