--><span class="statement" id="st-undefined" data-properties=""><b>Plants </b>short-lived perennial, glabrous, rarely pubescent, glaucous; taproot stout; caudex woody. <b>Stems</b> several–many, erect, branched and decumbent at base, rarely simple, 20–80 cm. <b>Leaves</b> mainly cauline, 2 per node, sessile, almost clasping, reduced proximal to inflorescence, blade broadly oblong to oblanceolate or lanceolate, rarely ± linear, 2–8 cm × 5–30 mm, base round, apex acute to acuminate. <b>Inflorescences</b> open dichasial cyme, 5–40-flowered, bracteate; bracts much-reduced, lanceolate. <b>Pedicels</b> 0.5–3 cm. <b>Flowers</b> bisexual and unisexual, some plants having bisexual flowers, others having pistillate unisexual flowers, 15–20 mm diam.; calyx pale green, rarely purplish, campanulate, not contracted at mouth or base, inflated, 9–12 mm in flower, 12–18 × 7–11 mm in fruit, herbaceous, papery, venation obscure, reticulate, without conspicuous pale commissures, margins dentate, lobes broadly triangular, 2–3 mm, glabrous; petals white, ca. 2 times as long as calyx; limb obovate, emarginate to 2-lobed; stamens exserted by 2–4 mm; styles 3, cream to greenish, at most slightly pink tinged, 2 times longer than calyx. <b>Capsules</b> ovoid to globose, equaling calyx, opening by 6 teeth; carpophore 2–3 mm. <b>Seeds</b> black or nearly so, globose-reniform, 1–1.5 mm, finely tuberculate. <b>2n</b> = 24.</span><!--

|discussion=<p><i>Silene vulgaris</i> is less variable in North America than in its native Europe, where five subspecies are recognized on the basis of capsule size, petal color, leaf shape, and habit. All North American material appears to belong to <i></i></i>subsp.<i><i> vulgaris</i>, although a few collections from sandy habitats tend to have unusually narrow leaves. Similar plants from Europe have been named var. litoralis (Ruprecht) Jalas and <i></i></i>subsp.<i><i> angustifolia</i> Hayek.</p>
