Walp.; Lychnis himalayensis (Rohrb.) Edgew. & Hook. f. Easily distinguished from similar species of Silene with inflated calyx by its glandular-pubescent stems, taller habit (20-40 cm) as compared to S. apetala (15-25 cm) narrower linear-lanceolate cauline leaves, 1-3 flowered branches, inflated calyx 8-12 mm long, contracted towards tip, pubescent with purlish-black veins slightly uniting at apex, and very small petals scarcely emerging from calyx, turgid capsule. Photographed from Apharwat mountain slopes, alt. 3100 m in Kashmir. quite unique... in the last ???? seedpod what is the inner " green jello mound" dont know enough about these pods... where can I read about them?
