Dear All
Silene edgeworthii from Chakrata
Identified on the basis of the information provided by Gurcharan Ji in an earlier thread
“*Silene edgeworthii is distinct from S. vulgaris (formerly Silene
inflata)*in that former has 5 (rarely 4) styles and fimbriate petals
whereas latter
has 3 styles and deeply bilobed petals. You can clearly see three styles and
deeply lobed petals in atleast two of my flowers. In that respect your plant
looks different: style number is not clear (you may try to count by
enlarging your original photographs).

Yes S. vulgaris is very distinct
S. edgeworthii is however much similar to S. setisperma (Lychnis inflata not to ber confused with Silene inflata) which does not have fimbriate petals although calyx looks similar with darker veins
S. edgeworthii is, however, now correctly known as

No Balkar ji, I did not correct you. I just added information. You had identified it correctly.
