Sagina pilifera (syn. Spergula pilifera DC., Sagina saginoides (L.) H.Karst. var. pilifera (DC.) Fiori) is a species of Sagina, native (and endemic) to the Mediterranean islands of Corsica and Sardinia, where it grows in mountains at altitudes of 1,000–2,700 m. It is a prostrate herbaceous plant growing to 2–8 cm tall, with white flowers 1 cm in diameter.[1][2]
Plants from northwestern Europe reported as this species are based on misidentification of Sagina subulata.[3][4]
