Vaccaria

a genus of annual herbs of the family Caryophyllaceae. The stems are erect and branched; the leaves are bluegreen, entire, and opposite. The flowers are in a loose corymbose inflorescence, and the calyx has five winged ribs. The pink petals have a dentate claw. The fruit is a many-seeded capsule. There are several species in Europe, the Mediterranean region, and the temperature zone of Asia. The USSR has one species— V.hispánica (also classified as V. pyramidata or V. segetalis)—which is a pernicious weed of spring plantings (mainly millet and flax) in the forest and steppe zones. The seeds mature at the same time as those of the cultivated crop and, thus, are difficult to separate from millet grains and flax seeds.
