It belongs to the order Caryophyllaceæ, or Clove-worts, and the section Sileneæ. Lychnis ( Agrostemma ) githago , a tall plant with large purple flowers, is the well-known corn cockle so common in grain-fields. It is said by agriculturists that when the seeds of the plant are ground along with those of corn they are found to render the latter unwholesome.
