الأوراق

Leaves: Lower leaves relatively broad, obovate to ovate-spathulate and petiolate, withering early; cauline leaves progressively narrower, the upper leaves linear to almost setaceous.

الأزهار

Inflorescence & flowers: Inflorescence very lax, with long slender branches. Pedicels shorter than the calyx. Calyx glabrous, membranous, narrowly tubular to clavate, with 10 conspicuous reddish-purple longitudinal veins; veins anastomosing toward the upper part. Calyx teeth short, triangular to shortly lanceolate and acute. Petals white to pale pink, deeply bifid, commonly conspicuously marked with purple veins, especially on the lower surface. Corona present.

الثمار والبذور

Fruit: Capsule ovoid, borne on a well-developed carpophore and approximately equalling it in length.، Seeds: Seeds brown, reniform, about 1–1.5 mm long, with a strongly sculptured surface. The testa bears regularly arranged rows of prominent, short, pointed to blunt-conical tubercles. The seed morphology of the examined Lebanese material closely matches that illustrated for Silene reinwardtii from coastal Syria.
