How would you translate the name of this flower in English? Or at the very least, reference how the name in Spanish pertains to the stinger/prick of a "pegamosque"?
Por último, y para terminar me voy a despedir con la Pelosilla de playa o Pegamosques, de nombre científico Silene cambessedesii. Ésta es una especie endémica de flores de color fucsia. Sus hojas presentan pelos glandulosos, que otorgan al tacto un aspecto pegajoso, de ahí el nombre de pegamosques.
Lastly, I am going to end with the Silene cambessedesii. This is an endemic specie with fuchsia colored flowers whose petals have glands that feel sticky/prickly to the touch?

Silene is a genus of flowering plants in the family Caryophyllaceae. Common names include campion (shared with the related genus Lychnis) and catchfly.
Red Campion (S. dioica) and White Campion (S. latifolia) are common wildflowers throughout Europe and elsewhere. They readily hybridise to produce plants with paler pink flowers. The Moss campion is common in the high Arctic.
Silene species are used as food plants by the larvae of some Lepidoptera species - see list of Lepidoptera that feed on Silene.
Silene undulata (syn. Silene capensis) is used by the Xhosa tribe in Africa as an oneirogenic agent. Reputedly, a small amount of the root bark of this species is pulverised with water to produce a white froth. This froth is then sucked off and swallowed. The user's dreams for the following several nights are said to be more vivid and memorable than usual, although no effects are felt while awake. Some ethnobotanical websites sell silene specimens as "African Dreaming Root" or "Xhosa Dream Herb" or similar.
