THE BIOLOGY OF CANADIAN WEEDS.: 42. Stellaria media (L.) Vill.

Abstract
This paper provides a summary of biological data on Stellaria media (L.) Vill., commonly known as chickweed. It is found throughout most of the world and is present in all Canadian provinces and both territories, being particularly abundant in British Columbia and eastern Canada. Chickweed is a weed of grain fields, young pastures, lawns, and gardens, and can be controlled by the use of several common herbicides.
