chalcedonica

var.

,

Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture
Lychnis chalcedonica, Linn. Maltese Cross. JeruSalem Cross. Scarlet Lightning. Perennial, 2-3 ft. tall, usually loose-hairy, the sts. simple or nearly so: lvs. oblong or cordate-lanceolate, clasping (upper ones often narrow and tapering), short- pointed, hairy: fls. 1 in. long, with narrow upward- enlarging ribbed calyx and spreading obcordate notched limb. June.—Probably Japanese, but long in cult., and one of the best of all old-fashioned fls. The fls. are usually brick-red to scarlet, but there are varieties with rose-colored, flesh- colored and white blossoms; also with double fls. The arrangement of the petal-limbs suggests the Maltese cross, hence one of the common names. Rarely persists for a time as a weed. The above text is from the Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture.
