''Lychnis'' 〔''Sunset Western Garden Book,'' 1995:606–607〕 is a genus of 15-25 species of flowering plants in the family Caryophyllaceae, native to Europe, Asia and north Africa. The genus is closely related to (and sometimes included in) ''Silene'', differing in the flowers having five styles (three in ''Silene''), the seed capsule having five teeth (six in ''Silene''), and in the sticky stems of ''Lychnis''. Common names include "campion" (shared with ''Silene'') and "catchfly", the latter name based on the sticky stems. ==Selected species== *''Lychnis alba'' (White Cockle) *''Lychnis alpina'' (Alpine Catchfly) *''Lychnis chalcedonica'' (Maltese Cross) *''Lychnis cognata'' *''Lychnis coeli-rosa'' (Rose of Heaven) *''Lychnis coronata'' *''Lychnis flos-cuculi'' (Ragged Robin) *''Lychnis flos-jovis'' (Flower-of-Jove) *''Lychnis fulgens'' *''Lychnis nivalis'' *''Lychnis senno'' *''Lychnis sibirica'' *''Lychnis sieboldii'' *''Lychnis viscaria'' (Sticky Catchfly) *''Lychnis wilfordii'' ''Lychnis coronaria'' (Rose Campion) has been reclassified outside the UK as ''Silene coronaria''. The Lychnis is also the common name of ''Hadena bicruris'', a species of noctuid moth. The larva of this moth feeds on ''Lychnis'' species, as do some other Lepidoptera including Cabbage Moth (recorded on ''L. chalcedonica''), Grey Chi and case-bearers of the genus ''Coleophora'' including ''C. albella'' (feeds exclusively on ''L. flos-cuculi'') and ''C. leucapennella''. 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「Lychnis」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
