Silene noctiflora Linnaeus, Species Plantarum 1: 419. 1753.

"Habitat in Suecia, Germania." RCN: 3258.

Lectotype (Jonsell & Jarvis in Nordic J. Bot. 14: 159. 1994): Herb. Linn. No. 183.17 (S) .

Current name: Silene noctiflora L. ( Caryophyllaceae).

Note: Melzheimer (in Rechinger, Fl. Iranica 163: 474. 1988) indicated unspecified material in LINN as the type. However, the only material associated with this name, 583.36 (LINN), lacks a Species Plantarum number (i.e. “15”), is a post-1753 addition to the herbarium, and is not original material for the name.
