[wikipedia] Rarity, Range, Description, Threats: Silene marmorensis is a rare species of flowering plant in the family Caryophyllaceae known by the common names Marble Mountain catchfly,[1] Marble Mountain campion, and Somes Bar campion. It is endemic to the southern Klamath Mountains of northern California, where it grows in mountain woodlands and forests. The flowers bloom at night, the five pinkish or green-tinged petals opening at the tip of the calyx. This species is threatened by logging operations and other degradation of its habitat.
