Erect herb near wheat field from Kangra area of Himachal
Most probably Silene conoidea
Silene conoidea is a common weed of wheat fields in H.P. and locally known as Ghuggi in hamirpur and Kangra areas. We used to eat its seeds in childhood.
Attaching a snap, taken by my friend at Manali, in the first week of June.
Any chance for Silene armeria L. ?
I have heard that in S. armeria, flower color ranges from pink to white to purple.
Please validate.
Check for Silene conoidea?
Thanks for the response, …
I searched for all possible resources on Silene conoidea, including the earlier posts at efloraindia. Interestingly in many of the posts, the petal tip is acute to obtuse or denticulte (as mentioned in many regional flora) , But this snap I posted shows a clear notch at the tip and denticulation is minimum (a character missed in the description of all the regional flora I referred).
Hope this much of variation is acceptable.
Silene armeria is an ornamental species occurring rarely as escape in India (vide- Flora of India voi-II). With more than 20 nerves on inflated calyx (partially visible in background) it resemble S.conoidea more closely. Yes the shape of petals is not perfectly matching. Agree with your statement on variation.
I agree with … regarding this being Silene conoidea L. as per images herein. References:
