Silene uralensis ssp. uralensis (Rupr.) Bocquet
8 photos.
The "mountain campion" or "apetalous catchfly" formerly
Melandrium apetalum (L.) Fenzl, and
Lychnis apetala L.. "Apetalous" means "without petals"
since the fennoscandian subspecies has petals which
barely emerge from the calyx. Anyway, the Alaskan subspecies is ssp.
uralensis for which ITIS
has dropped the common name "mountain campion" preferring "apetalous
catchfly".
