Thank you Mahadeswra JI. So far ID is kept as Silene indica Roxb. ex Otth only.

Thank you Mr. Garg.
Shall we keep them as separate sp. like my last years' post ?

Yes, as there is substantial difference between the two.
POWO even recognised it as a separate species i.e. Silene edgeworthii Bocquet.

A picture turned up first time I followed the link, but not when I tried again.

Anyway, I think I remember what it looked like:
It looks like S. holosteifolia (3 styles, I suppose?), possibly with a little broader leaves than is usual..

The flowers of S. edgeworthii are superficially similar to those of holosteifolia, but have 5 styles, the leaves are broader, with distinct parallel veins (in holosteifolia only midvein distinct) and the inflorescence is many-flowered.
It is not known from the Kathmandu area.

Compare with the photos I sent you.

Silene indica is a very different species.
