This plant of Silene spp. was observed in Mandi, H.P. at an altitude of approx. 1600 meters. Pictures are not very clear as they were clicked with a mobile phone camera. Mr. Manoj took the photos. Although this plant shows a few similarities to
Silene vulgaris but the leaves and other morphologies are different, so we cannot come to any conclusion and requesting experts to kindly ID this species.
Habitat: Semi-moist and partly open slopes near Pine and Quercus forest.
Place: Mandi, H.P. (1600 meters)
Date: April 11, 2024
