Silene galataea Boiss., View in CoL Fl. Orient. Suppl.: 102. 1888.

Lectotypus (designated here): Cyprus. Prov. Troödos: circa Galata, 15.VI.1880, Fl. & Fr., Sintenis U Rigo 768 ( G-BOIS [ G00330606 ]! ; isolecto-: G-BOIS [ G00330606 ]!, K [ K000728598 , K000728599 ] images seen, LD [ LD1403097 , LD1403157 ] images seen, P [ P05019189 , P05396106 ]!) ( Fig. 2 View Fig. 2 ) .

Notes. – A single gathering was designated For S. galataea (Sintenis U Rigo 768) by Boissier (1888). Two sheets oF this collection are housed in G-BOIS, on which two and one specimens are mounted respectively, all clearly labelled. Ŋese specimens apparently correspond to distinct individuals, although it is not clearly obvious on the first sheet. We know that Boissier’s material is not always homogenous and corresponds sometimes to diFFerent species ( Jeanmonod, 1985), especially in Silene L. with numerous convergences and potentially cryptic species. For this reason we preFer to fix the morphology oF this species by designating a single plant as lectotype. We thereFore designate the single specimen in G-BOIS mounted on the second sheet as lectotype because it is the most complete specimen and the determination bears Boissier’s handwriting ( Fig. 2 View Fig. 2 ). Ŋe two other specimens in G-BOIS are thereFore considered as isolectotypes as the remaining duplicates distributed in various herbaria.
