stitchwort

The thorn-trees were all in bloom, and the banks were covered with the white stitchwort and blue speedwell.

Here is blue speedwell and the delicately pencilled stitchwort with its pure snow-white blossoms and delicate green leaves.

Its name, stitchwort, no doubt alludes to the plant's supposed virtue in cases of "stitches" in the side.

In Devonshire the flowers of Stitchwort are known as Pixies.
