Dear Gurcharan ji, This one doesn't look like Cerastium fontanum subsp. triviale to me, which is now treated synonymous with Cerastium fontanum subsp. vulgare. Petals are supposed to be shorted than sepals in that species. However, in your flower the petals are distinctly longer than the sepals. To me it looks like Cerastium dahuricum (alternate spelling Cerastium davuricum), with notched petals longer than sepals and stem- clasping leaves http://www.efloras.org/object_page.aspx?object_id=39189&flora_id=2 Your comments?
