Appearance
It has an annual life history and produces self-compatible hermaphroditic flowers and occasional male-sterile flowers. Like other members of "Silene" section "Conoimorpha", "S. conica" is readily recognizable based on its bright pink petals and the prominent, parallel veins on its calyx. In contrast to most flowering plants, "S. conica" appears to have a very rapid rate of mitochondrial mutation, and has the largest mitochondrial genome ever identified.References:
