Lychnis coronata, Thunb. (L. grandiflora, Jacq.). Perennial, or often biennial under cult., erect, glabrous, 1-1 ½ ft.: lvs. oval-elliptic and acute, the cauline ones sessile or nearly so: fls. very large (2 in. or more across), the wide-spreading petals sharply several-toothed or somewhat laciniate, brick-red, salmon, or cinnabar, scattered or in an open panicle. China, Japan. B.M. 223. L.B.C. 15:1433. G.C. III. 28:205 and 42:189 (the same cut). R.H. 1911:12. G.M. 51:141. F.S. 10:979.- Half-hardy or tender perrnnial, growing 1-1 ½ ft. high, mostly a spring and summer bloomer. Of this handsome plant there are various forms, and to at least some of them the name L. fulgens is frequently applied.
Var. speciosa, Bailey (L. speciosa, Carr. L. grandiflora var. speciosa, Voss. L. japonica speciosa, Hort.). Usually not so tall, very bushy: lvs. narrower and sharper: fls. very large and redder (usually scarlet), the petals less toothed and indistinctly 2-notched.R.H. 1870-1:530.
Var. Sieboldii, Bailey (L. Sieboldii, Van Houtte. L. grandiflora var. Sieboldii, Voss). Fls. Large and pure white, with lacerate and obscurely 2-notched petals.

Lychnis fulgens, Fisch. (not Hort.). An erect-stemmed perennial, hairy. lvs. ovate to ovate-oblong, roughish, tapering below but scarcely petioled: fls. few, in a rather dense terminal cluster, bright scarlet, each petal divided into 2 broad lobes, on the outer side of which are 2 other and very narrow lobes, the ends of the main lobes slightly toothed; calyx oblong or ovate, 10- ribbed, with erect teeth. Siberia, China, Japan.—Perhaps not in cult, in this country. The plant that passes under this name is probably a form of L. coronata. From L. chalcedonica it is distinguished by lower stature, much larger fls., and the well-marked side teeth or lobes on the petals.
