''Silene antirrhina'' is a species of flowering plant in the pink family known by the common names sleepy silene and sleepy catchfly. It is native to the Americas, where it is widespread throughout North America and parts of South America. It is known in Europe as an introduced species. It can be found in a wide range of habitat types, including disturbed and recently burned areas. It is sometimes weedy. ==Description== ''Silene antirrhina'' is quite variable in appearance, its morphology depending on several environmental factors, such as moisture level and available nutrients.〔(Flora of North America )〕 In general it is an annual herb growing erect to a maximum height near 80 centimeters. The slender stem grows from a taproot and branches near the top. There are dark-colored internodes on the stem, the upper ones often glandular in sticky in texture. Insects become trapped in the sticky patches on this protocarnivorous plant, but it does not obtain any nutrients from them.〔(Illinois Wildflowers )〕 The lance-shaped leaves are up to 6 centimeters long near the base of the stem, and are smaller and narrower farther up. The flower is enveloped in an inflated ovate calyx of fused sepals with ten veins. The calyx is open at the top, often revealing five double-lobed petals in shades of pink, red, or purple to white; the petals are sometimes absent. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Silene antirrhina」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
