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. | | Lychnis coronata, Thunb. (L. grandiflora, Jacq.).
