Blum, A. G. (2014) More Examples of Silene vulgaris (Moench) Garcke (Caryophyllaceae) Bladder Campion. Flowers photographed in ultraviolet and visible light. http://www.ultraviol...-more-examples/

 

Synonyms:

  • Maiden's Tears
  • Behen vulgaris Moench
  • Silene cucubalus Wibel
  • Silene inflata Sm.

Comment:

Chalwatzis first showed S. vulgaris in Ultraviolet(2). Here are a few more examples which exhibit the same UV-signature.

Flora Novae Angliae tells us that the New England S. vulgaris shown here is the species type Silene vulgaris subsp. vulgaris(2).
