Silene conica L.

Species description (© Flora Helvetica 2018)

15-45 cm hoch, Stängel einfach oder verzweigt, oben etwas klebrig. Blätter schmal-lanzettlich. Blüten einzeln oder zu wenigen am Ende des Stängels und der Zweige. Kronblätter hellpurpurn, wenig tief ausgerandet, mit 1-2 mm hohem Nebenkrönchen. Kelch 10-15 mm lang, oft rötlich, kurz und meist drüsig behaart, 30nervig. Kelchzähne etwa 2/3 so lang wie der verwachsene Kelchteil. Kapsel 7-12 mm lang, mit 6 Zähnen öffnend.
