Heliosperma

	Heliosperma ''Heliosperma'' is a genus of flowering plants in the family Caryophyllaceae. As such, it is closely related to the large genus ''Silene'', but its members can be told apart from ''Silene'' by the crest of long papillae on the seeds. The majority of the species are narrow endemics from the Balkan Peninsula, but '' H. alpestre'' is endemic to the Eastern Alps, and '' H. pusillum'' is found from the in northern Spain to the Carpathians. Like members of the genus ''Silene'' and other related genera, ''Heliosperma'' is attacked by species of the anther smut fungus '' Microbotryum''. Cases of parallel divergence events between alpine and mountain populations have been reported in this genus. Species Around 15 species are currently recognised in the genus: ''Heliosperma albanicum'' K.Malý ''Heliosperma alpestre'' Rchb. – Eastern Alps ''Heliosperma chromodontum'' Rohrb. – Greece ''Heliosperma insulare'' Trinajstić – Croatia ''Heliosperma intonsum'' (Greuter & Me ...

picture info	Caryophyllaceae Caryophyllaceae, commonly called the pink family or carnation family, is a family of flowering plants. It is included in the dicotyledon order Caryophyllales in the APG III system, alongside 33 other families, including Amaranthaceae, Cactaceae, and Polygonaceae. It is a large family, with 81 genera and about 2,625 known species. This cosmopolitan family of mostly herbaceous plants is best represented in temperate climates, with a few species growing on tropical mountains. Some of the more commonly known members include pinks and carnations (''Dianthus''), and firepink and campions ('' Lychnis'' and ''Silene''). Many species are grown as ornamental plants, and some species are widespread weeds. Most species grow in the Mediterranean and bordering regions of Europe and Asia. The number of genera and species in the Southern Hemisphere is rather small, although the family does contain Antarctic pearlwort (''Colobanthus quitensis''), the world's southernmost dicot, which is one ...
