Conservation status

In Ukraine - VU ( Onyshchenko et al. 2022).

Distribution

SE Carpathian endemic.

Notes

A rare species that occurs in the Ukrainian Carpathians only in the Chyvchyny Mts. ( Chorney 2009a, Chopyk and Fedoronchuk 2015, MEPNR of Ukraine 2021). This species was considered to belong to the genera Melandrium Röhl., Elisanthe Rchb. or Silenanthe Griseb. & Schenk. It was also considered a synonym of Silene vulgaris (Moench) Garcke subsp. vulgaris , but recent molecular studies showed that this narrow endemic is an independent and well-separated species nested within Silene sect. Physolichnis s.l. ( Martyniuk et al. 2018, Petri and Oxelman 2019, Jafari et al. 2020).

This name is quite popular and often used in the Ukrainian herbaria and regional floras. However, in the original publication, Braun (1843) did not apply such a combination. Instead, he used the name Silene zawadskii and only indicated that this species belongs to the group Melandrien (Elisanthen). Therefore, it is not clear who was the actual author of the combination M. zawadskii and whether it was validly published at all.
