About Arenaria ciliata subsp. multicaulis (L.) Arcang.
Arenaria ciliata, commonly called fringed sandwort, is a perennial herb belonging to the Caryophyllaceae family. It is a calcicole that grows in open grassland and on bare rock in mountainous regions. The species is distributed across Europe, with one isolated outlying population in Greenland.
