Flora of Chakrata: Silene edgeworthii from Chakrata: Silene edgeworthii from Chakrata Yes S. vulgaris is very distinct flowersofindia
S. edgeworthii is however much similar to S. setisperma (Lychnis inflata not to be confused with Silene inflata) which does not have fimbriate petals although calyx looks similar with darker veins flowersofindia
S. edgeworthii is, however, now correctly known as Silene indica var. edgeworthii (Bocquet) Y.J.

VOF Week: Silene sp-5 along Govindghat-Ghangaria route.: This is one more but the last set of Silene sp. photographs. Since it was raining, i just took these photographs using my old pocket camera. Sorry for the poor quality of photographs. Should be Silene indica var. edgeworthii (Syn: Silene edgeworthii) Yes Silene indica var. edgeworthii also found in Chakrata region
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.
