Greater Stitchwort is a common wildflower throughout most of Britain. It is a pretty flower appearing in woodland and hedgerows in springtime.
The white flowers are 2 - 3 cms across with five deeply-notched petals and five shorter green sepals.
The leaves are long and narrow.
Its name originates from its ancient herbal use of alleviating a "stitch" in the side.
