Hi, this is the one of the water plants that I posted a few months back.

It is now flowering and as it has aged its leaves have changed shape and it has become taller.

Is it a type of Callitriche?

Thanks again!

No, it's a type of chickweed.

...or stitchwort - both are Stellaria.
If possible, count the number of stamens and styles per flower.

Looks like Bog Stitchwort - Stellaria alsine

I think so too: leaf-shape, hairy leaf-edges, 4-angled stem, 10 stamens and 3 styles (which looks plausible in the photos, though I can't count them properly).

Hi, thanks to Xeno, earthdragon and Butty. I find these small plants virtually impossible to identify myself and frequently make mistakes.

Yvw, Mr Creedence. I thought you might be 'a tick up on me' there, but I find from my records that - remarkably - I scored it at Frensham in 1979!
