The above image contains two photos of the same plant. In the photo on the left, the plant is intact and undisturbed. In the photo on the right, the stem has been cut in two and the upper portion placed in the ground to the left of the lower portion. In addition, in the right photo the cauline leaves have been spread apart to make them more visible. Note the flowers are erect on stiffly ascending pedicels.
Note that Budd's Flora recognized two related genera - Silene and Lychnis - and it called this species Lychnis drummondii. Today Lychnis is subsumed in a larger Silene. Therefore the answers separating Silene from Lychnis have been removed from the answers leading to the genus and added to the answers leading to the species.
