The application of the names Cucubalus reflexus and Silene nocturna is revised and discussed while, for the name S. mutabilis , a specimen in LINN (Herb. Linnaeus) is designated as lectotype. It is concluded that S. nocturna , which is based on cultivated material, correctly matches its current application. Silene reflexa is a heterotypic synonym of S. nocturna subsp. capraria . Finally, the name S. mutabilis is applicable to the taxon currently known as S. neglecta Ten., and the Linnaean name is therefore the earliest name for this species.
