Silene cerastoides Linnaeus View in CoL , Species Plantarum 1: 417. 1753 View Cited Treatment .

"Habitat in Europa australi." RCN: 3243.

Lectotype (Talavera & Muñoz Garmendia in Anales Jard. Bot. Madrid 45: 408. 1989): Herb. Linn. No. 583.14 ( LINN) .

Current name: Silene gallica L. View in CoL ( Caryophyllaceae ).

Note: Greuter (in Taxon 44: 102. 1995) proposed the rejection of the name to prevent its possible replacement of S. gallica L. However , the Committee for Spermatophyta (in Taxon 46: 324. 1997) declined to approve its rejection against S. gallica as the application of S. cerastoides was felt to be still unclear. Ghafoor (in Jafri & El-Gadi, Fl. Libya 59: 69. 1978) indicated 583.13 (LINN) as type, but this collection lacks a relevant Species Plantarum number (i.e. “6”), is a later addition to the collection and is not original material for the name.
