Sagina species are annual or perennial herbs, usually caespitose or mat-like forming, stem prostrate or ascending, simple or much branched from the base, slightly angular or terete, glabrous or pubescent, rootstock slender. Leaves simple, opposite or rosette in some perennials, linear lanceolate to subulate, base slightly connate, margin entire, apex acute to mucronate tip or long apiculate, succulent or not, glabrous or pubescent, 1-veined, petiole sessile, stipules absent. Inflorescence axillary or terminal, few flowered cymes or solitary. Flowers bisexual, pedicel spreading or erect in fruit, bracts paired, foliaceous, sepals 4-5, free, distinct, lanceolate, margins scarious, apex acute, greenish to pinkish, petals 4-5, free, white, ovate-oblong to orbiculate, base minutely clawed or absent, margins entire, apex obtuse to acute, absent or deciduous in annuals. Stamens 4-10, filaments distinct, anthers 2-locular, dorsifixed, nectarines present. Ovary superior, unilocular, staminodes absent, ovules many, staminodes absent, style 4-5, alternating with sepals, stigmas 4-5. Fruit capsule, globose-ovoid, dehiscing by 4-5 valves to almost the length of capsule. Seeds many, reniform-globose, laterally compressed or plump, reddish brown, tuberculate or smooth, embryo marginal wings absent.

📚 Natural History
Reproduction
Sagina species flowers are complete, bisexual, i.e., with functional male (androecium) and female (gynoecium), including stamens, carpels and ovary. Pollination is entomophilous i.e., by insects, or cleistogamy i.e., by self or allogamy i.e., by cross pollination. Flowering/Fruiting: May-August.

Dispersal
Seeds may be dispersed by autochory i.e., self dispersal, anemochory i.e., wind dispersal, zoochory i.e., dispersal by birds or animals, anthropochory i.e., dispersal by humans.

Morphology
Perennial herbs, about 3-12 cm tall, densely caespitose or mat-like forming, stem procument or ascending, main stem never flowering, much branched from the base, with more rosettes, glabrous, rootstock at the base of the nodes. Leaves simple, opposite, basal leaves in rosette of the branches, cauline leaves, linear lanceolate to subulate, about 5-10 x 1-2 mm across, base slightly connate, margin entire, apex aristate or apiculate, slightly fleshy, glabrous, 1-veined, petiole sessile, stipules absent. Inflorescence axillary or terminal, solitary. Flowers bisexual, pedicel spreading or recurved in fruit, bracts paired, foliaceous, sepals 4, free, distinct, broadly ovate, margins faintly scarious, apex obtuse, hooded, greenish, never purple tinged, petals 4, free, white, ovate-elliptic, base minutely clawed or absent, margins entire, apex obtuse to acute, shorter or equal to sepals. Stamens 4-8, filaments distinct, anthers 2-locular, dorsifixed, nectarines present. Ovary superior, unilocular, staminodes absent, ovules many, staminodes absent, style 4, alternating with sepals, stigmas 4. Fruit capsule, globose-ovoid, about 2.5-3 mm long, dehiscing by 4 valves to base, slightly exceeding the sepals. Seeds many, reniform-deltoid, about 0.4-0.5 mm across, grooved, brown, smooth to tuberculate, embryo marginal wings absent.
