36. Dianthus L. View in CoL 1
Usually perennial herbs or small shrubs, often with linear, parallel-veined leaves. Flowers solitary or in heads surrounded by bracts. Epicalyx-scales 2-many, usually appressed to calyx. Calyx tubular, 5-toothed, without scarious commissures. Petals 5, long-clawed, entire, dentate or laciniate, but not deeply bifid; coronal scales absent. Stamens 10; styles 2. Capsule dehiscing with 4 teeth; carpophore often present. Male-sterile plants of a number of species occur sporadically and add to the difficulties of identification, as such plants are often dwarf, with flowers smaller in all their parts than normal and sometimes with a reduced number of epicalyx-scales. Late flowers, particularly if borne on lateral branches produced by damaged main stems, may also be abnormal. Species which normally have capitate inflorescences frequently produce solitary flowers in these circumstances. It is therefore unwise to attempt to identify plants flowering outside their normal season. The shape and measurements of the calyx refer to the calyx at flowering time. The diameter of the stem is measured just below a node. Bracts occur in species with capitate inflorescences, and should be distinguished from epicalyx-scales; they subtend more than one flower.
Most of the species are more or less interfertile but, since they are usually geographically or ecologically isolated, hybrids are rather local. They do, however, seem to occur in most localities where two or more species grow together, and are particularly common in the Pyrenees.
The pattern of morphological resemblances within the genus is exceptionally reticulate, so that any linear arrangement of species is more than usually artificial, and division into subgenera, sections, etc. is of little practical value. The most satisfactory scheme so far published is that given by Schischkin in Komarov, Fl. URSS 6: 803-61 (1936), but this includes only a quarter of the European species, which are placed in 12 groups; the remainder could perhaps be accommodated in a further 23 groups, but further study of the problem is desirable.
