Abstract

The names of the taxa belonging to Silene saxifraga group are discussed in this paper. An epitype is designated for Cucubalus alpestris as well as lectotypes are proposed for the following six validly published names: S. fruticulosa, S. hayekiana, S. multicaulis var. ottomanica, S. oreades, S. saxifraga subsp. balcanica and S. schmuckeri. A second-step lectotypification of Silene dionysii is also made, whereas previous typifications and holotype citations for the 16 names related to S. saxifraga group are summarized.
