Silene
To the species described on pp. 432-3, Vol. III., the following should now be added:
S. pusilla (dwarf). A tiny plant, rarely exceeding 1 1/2in. in height, forming a dense mass; the flowers, which are about 1/4in. in diameter, are so profusely produced as to almost entirely hide the foliage. It is a charming little subject, either for pot culture or for growing on the rockery. 1887. (G. C. ser. iii., vol. ii., p. 44.)
