Cucubalus reflexus
Linnaeus

.
"Habitat Monspelii." RCN: 3235.
Lectotype
(Talavera in Cafferty & Jarvis in
Taxon
53: 1051. 2004): Herb. Linn. No. 582.22 (
LINN
)
.
Current name:
Silene nocturna
L.
(
Caryophyllaceae
).
Note:
Chater & al. (in Tutin & al.,
Fl. Europaea
, ed. 2, 1: 217. 1993) stated that the name probably relates to a cleistogamous variant of
S. nocturna
subsp.
nocturna.
In typifying the name, Talavera confirmed this identification and synonymy.
