Description
(syn. lacerum)
A name that you may not be familiar with, even though this was discovered by Szovits in 1828 in Turkey.
It has very thin leaves of only about 1 mm wide and flower stems of between 15 and 25 cm tall which hold up to 10 or so small, upwards-facing white flowers each petal in which has a pink-purple vein running along its length and flicked-back tips.
A mountain species, now known to also grow in both Iraq, Iran and the Caucasus. Happy here in a well drained loam soil in sun, dryer in summer.
