Notes

  • 60-3,050
  • Description digitized by Mercedez
  • Description digitized from the Manual of the Flowering Plants of Hawaii
  • First collected on O'ahu in 1864-1865
  • St. John (1973a) also lists as an adventive Silene multinervia S. Wats., which differs from S. gallica in having 20-30-nerved calyces; however, we have not seen any specimens of this species. His inclusion of it perhaps is based on an earlier misidentification of S. gallica.
