  Caryophyllaceae
A primarily temperate family, the Caryophyllaceae has its center of diversity in the Mediterranean region.
Apart from being the source of many ornamental plants, the Caryophyllaceae's economic importance is negative, but not greatly so.
Although a member of the Caryophyllanae, the Caryophyllaceae have anthocyanins for their pink and blue pigments, but their other characteristics, including a curved embryo, sieved tube plastics, and free-central placentation, all confirm its membership in the Caryophyllanae.

Members of the Caryophyllaceae have opposite narrow leaves, swollen nodes, and bilobed or fringed ("pinked") petals.
The species are all annual or perennial herbs and include many garden ornamentals such as Dianthus (carnations, pinks), Gypsophila (baby's-breath), Lychnis (rose campion), and Arenaria (sandwort), as well as some widespread weeds such as Stellaria (chickweed) and Cerastium (field chickweed).
Many genera of Caryophyllaceae are common in western Washington; the following represent only a few.

The current subfamily classification is based on morphological characters which may be highly "labile" or homoplastic, such as type of locule dehiscence.
A number of species in the family have historically been, and continue to be, used as model systems for investigating the genetic basis of a variety of traits and evolutionary processes.
The final talks will focus on studies using members of the Caryophyllaceae as model systems to study evolutionary phenomena, including studies of breeding system evolution, gene expression and the molecular genetic basis for phenotypic traits.

Look for the species on drier sites away from the borders of wetlands.
Prairie chickweed is a member of the pink family (Caryophyllaceae) which derives its name from the Greek karyon, "nut," and phyllum, "leaf," probably referring to a flat projections on the seeds of some species.
The generic name Cerastium is from the Greek cerastes, "horned," in allusion to the slender curved seed capsule.
