Silene maritima, With. Perennial, cespitose, gray-green, 8-16 in. high: sts. numerous, the barren shoots procumbent, the flowering ascending: lvs. lanceolate or ovate-lanceolate, margin cartilaginous or crenate: fls. white, 1 or few to a st., but numerous, paniculate; calyx 20-nerved, inflated after anthesis; petals somewhat cleft and with 2 small scales at the base. June-Aug. Eu N. Afr. Gn. 57, p. 372. G.M. 52:273 —The seaside form is said to be more glaucous than the mountain form. Allied to S. latifolia, but fewer- and larger-fld. Var. plena, Hort. (S. maritima var. florepleno, Hort.), grows 4-10 in. high and has fewer fls. than the type, but they are much larger, extremely double and remain in bloom longer. Niven says, "This variety makes a lovely rock-plant, and ought always to be placed in such a position that its stems, borne down by the weight of blossoms, may hang over the ledge of a rock; otherwise, if planted in a border, they get besprinkled with soil after every shower of rain." Niven adds that this variety produces no seed and is more easily prop. by cuttings than by division. Gn. 11, p. 12; 57, p. 126. R.H. 1906, p. 181. Var. rosea, Niven, grows about 6 in. high and is said to have a less rambling habit and rose-colored fls. Origin unknown. This desirable form seems unknown in Amer.
