- Abstract
- Silene alba Muhl. ex Britton (1893), although considered to be an illegitimate substitution for S. nivea (Nutt.) Otth, is validly published and as a result S. alba (Miller) E. H. L. Krause (1901), the widely used name for the weed white campion or white cockle, is illegitimate. It is shown that the correct name for this species in Silene is S. pratensis (Rafn) Godron & Gren. A new taxonomic treatment of the infraspecific variation within S. pratensis is outlined and three new subspecific combinations proposed.
