Cerastium glomeratum Sticky Mouse-ear

Clust Llygoden Llydanddail

Thuill.

A very hairy annual mouse-ear with lots of glandular hairs that make it quite sticky. It is usually disinctly pale yellowish-green in colour with compact dense clusters of flowers. It is a weedy plant of dry places in disturbed grassland and ruderal habitats and it  is common throughout West Glamorgan except for shaded woodland or coniferous forest in the uplands.
