Silene indica var. edgeworthii

Flora of Chakrata: Silene edgeworthii from Chakrata:  Silene edgeworthii from Chakrata
Identified on the basis of the information provided by … 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).
Still i have little doubt
Pls validate

I am attaching another close-up picture of the plant. I was thinking another plant as Silene indica. Kindly help me identify this plant also.

Yes Silene indica var. edgeworthii

Same as identified earlier.

Should be same, as identified earlier. Send close up of flower for confirmation

A good picture of flower is not available but I am attaching a closeup of the same plant.

Not without petals

Vof Week: Silene indica var. edgeworthii (Bocquet) Y.J. Nasir from way to Ghangriya:  Silene indica var. edgeworthii (Bocquet) Y.J. Nasir from way to Ghangriya

I have checked the time of clicks. There seem to be two distinct populations, The one with two lobed petals (and two side teeth) don’t seem to be var. edgeworthii. Perhaps a key to Indian varieties of Silene indica should help.

Yes Sir these were two different population. I will separate both now

These pics seems to be different. May be any other variety. waiting for comments

Description matches with S. indica var. indica, but lobes are much narrower and longer. We may have to check Indian treatment on Silene.

I think Silene indica var. edgeworthii
