Cucubalus reflexus Linnaeus, Species Plantarum 1: 416. 1753.

"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.
