--><span class="statement" id="st-undefined" data-properties=""><b>Plants </b>perennial, cespitose, sometimes matted. <b>Taproots</b> thickened, woody; crown many-branched, thickened. <b>Stems</b> erect to ascending, green, 8–40 cm, glabrous, internodes of flowering stems 0.5–10+ times as long as leaves. <b>Leaves</b> tightly overlapping in proximal 1/3 of stem, variable spaced, usually connate proximally, with loose, scarious sheath 0.2–1 mm; blade erect to spreading, green, flat or convex to 3-angled, 1–3-veined, prominently so abaxially, filiform, linear to linear-lanceolate, 8–30 × 0.5–1.8 mm, rigid, margins not thickened, ± scarious, smooth, apex green, blunt to pungent, flat to navicular, shiny, glabrous; axillary leaves present among vegetative leaves. <b>Inflorescences</b> 5–30-flowered, lax to congested cymes; bracts narrowly lanceolate to subulate, herbaceous, margins scarious. <b>Pedicels</b> 0.3–6 cm, glabrous. <b>Flowers</b>: hypanthium dish-shaped; sepals 3-veined, ovate to lanceolate (herbaceous portion ovate to narrowly lanceolate), 3–6 mm, not enlarging in fruit, apex green, acute to mostly acuminate, not hooded, glabrous; petals oblong-obovate, 1.3–2 times as long as sepals, apex rounded, entire. <b>Capsules</b> on stipe ca. 0.1–0.2 mm, ellipsoid, 3–4 mm, usually shorter than sepals. <b>Seeds</b> black, suborbiculate, compressed, 0.8–0.9 mm, tuberculate; tubercles elongate. <b>2n</b> = 30(?), 44.</span><!--

|discussion=<p>We concur with J. A. Steyermark (1963) and G. Yatskievych and J. Turner (1990) that the concept of <i>Arenaria</i> texana originally put forth by Britton requires further study. Plants labeled as <i>Minuartia michauxii</i> <i></i>var.<i> texana</i> have slightly shorter leaves that are crowded into the proximal one-third rather than one-half of the somewhat shorter stem. The plants are often in the southern part of the range and may, as Steyermark noted, be associated with more open, xeric habitats.</p>
