Silene pendula, Linn. (S. graeca, Hort., not Boiss. S. rosea, Hort.). Fig. 3617. Annual, crisp-pubescent: sts. 6-10 in. high, decumbent at base, dichotomously branched above: lvs. oblong-spatulate to lanceolate; floral lvs. oblong-lanceolate: fls. flesh-colored or rosy, in lax racemes, finally pendulous; calyx hirsute, reddish, 10-nerved, somewhat inflated after anthesis; petals large, obovate or 2-parted: caps. ovate. May-Aug. Medit. region. B.M. 114.—A variable species whose varieties seem to be nomenclatorially in confusion as the same form appears to bear several names; some of the forms offered in the trade are: Var. alba, Hort., is a white-fld. form. Var. Bonnettii, Hort. (S.Bonettii, Hort.), has brownish red sts. and lvs.: fls. shiny purple-red or dark purple. Var. carnea, Hort., is a flesh-colored form of which there is a double variant known in the trade as carnea plena. Var. compacta, Hort., is probably a compact-growing strain rather than a true variety; occurring in several color variations and both single and double. G.C. III. 43:345; 55:174. Gt. 49, p. 555. G.Z. 18:32. A good bedding plant. Var. lilacina, Hort., is a form with rather lilac-purple fls. Var. ruberrima, Hort., Vilm., is a form with brownish red branches and bright rose or carmine fls. (R.H. 1884, p. 113); there is also a variation of this known in the trade as ruberrima Bonnettii, with reddish purple sts. and lvs. and rose-red fls., probably the same as var. Bonnettii.
