Silene laciniata is a herbaceous flowering plant in the genus Silene that is commonly called Indian-pink, cardinal catchfly, Mexican campion, or Mexican-pink. It is native to the southwestern United States from California to Texas, as well as northern Mexico.
This is a perennial herb producing one or more decumbent to erect stems which may exceed a meter in height. The slender, branching stem is glandular and sticky. The lance-shaped leaves are up to about 10 centimeters long by 2 wide, with smaller ones occurring on upper parts of the plant. The inflorescence may have one flower or many, each on a long pedicel. The flower has a tubular green or reddish calyx of fused sepals which is lined with ten prominent veins. The five bright red petals are each divided deeply into 4 to 6 long, pointed lobes, sometimes appearing fringed.
There are at least four subspecies including:
- Silene laciniata subsp. brandegeei
- Silene laciniata subsp. californica
- Silene laciniata subsp. greggii
- Silene laciniata subsp. laciniata
