Silene sp.
Kindly help with species identification
Looking like Silene armeria in flower characteristics, but it was very small in size. It was hardly 6 inch in height and only with a few very small leaves. It was not cultivated.

Yes Silene armeria, shows lot of variation especially when it grows as an escape.

Thank you, Sir. It may be an escape and malnutritioned. 


I think a good observation, …

It is not listed in Nepal. 


Pl. Also check comparative images in efi


I have checked and guess it is matching. It was a single plant on the lane to my residence. How come it came there since it is not listed in Nepal?


Thanks, … Is this species cultivated? 


No. Just one or two plant in the lane to my residence. Wild .
