Silene nuda
Silene nuda is a species of flowering plant in the family Caryophyllaceae known by the common names western fringed catchfly and sticky catchfly.

It is native to the Sierra Nevada and Modoc Plateau of California, its distribution extending into Oregon and Nevada. It grows in forest, woodland, and scrub habitat, sometimes in saline soils.

Silene nuda is a perennial herb growing from a thick, woody caudex and taproot, sending up one or more upright stems up to 0.5 metres (1.6 ft) tall.

The largest leaves are located in tufts around the caudex, each measuring up to 15 centimeters long by 3 wide. Smaller leaves occur higher up the stem.

Each flower is encapsulated in a hairy, veined calyx of fused sepals. The five long petals are pink and each has two lobes at the tip.

Soil salinity
Soil salinity is the salt content in the soil; the process of increasing the salt content is known as salinization (also called salination in American English). Salts occur naturally within soils and water. Salinization can be caused by natural processes such as mineral weathering or by the gradual withdrawal of an ocean. It can also come about through artificial processes such as irrigation and road salt.
Economic Liberation Movement
The Economic Liberation Movement (French: Mouvement de libération économique, abbreviated MLE) was a political party in Moyen-Congo, formed by European settlers who had arrived in the colony after the Second World War. The party contested the 1952 Moyen-Congo Representative Council election from the Brazzaville constituency. It thus pitted itself against the Gaullist RPF in contesting for the votes of the Brazzaville Europeans.

MLE was led by Christian Jayle. The party was made up by Jayle's associates; small merchants and journalists. The party called for complete free trade within the colony, and the promotion of small and medium-sized companies and removal of bureaucratic red tape and 'fiscal tyranny'.

In the 1956 French National Assembly election, Jayle contested from an African constituency with a new party (the "Party of the Frano-African Community"), receiving merely 757 votes out of 148 000.

American depositary receipt
An American depositary receipt (abbreviated ADR, and sometimes spelled depository) is a negotiable security that represents securities of a foreign company and allows that company's shares to trade in the U.S. financial markets.

Shares of many non-U.S. companies trade on U.S. stock exchanges through ADRs, which are denominated and pay dividends in U.S. dollars, and may be traded like regular shares of stock. ADRs are also traded during U.S. trading hours, through U.S. broker-dealers. ADRs simplify investing in foreign securities because the depositary bank "manage[s] all custody, currency and local taxes issues".

The first ADR was introduced by J.P. Morgan in 1927 for the British retailer Selfridges on the New York Curb Exchange, the American Stock Exchange's precursor.

They are the U.S. equivalent of a global depository receipt (GDR). Securities of a foreign company that are represented by an ADR are called American depositary shares (ADSs).
