We saw these flowers during the Saurkundi trek near Kullu on 23.5.2011.


I hope Silene vulgaris


Yes, it is known here under the name Taubenkropf-Leimkraut (/Silene vulgaris/) but the bulbs are different that the ones in .. fotos.
Found here also wild, a very good nectarplant for moths.
Would have liked to see the leaves.

Silene vulgaris: 3 images.
Location: Sangus, kulgam, J&K.


.


Regarding the ID of Silene spp.: 3 images.
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


I guess the ID is correct !
