Abstract:

By studying the type specimens and field works from locus classicus, it became clear that the two species of Silene eremicana and S. goniocaula which are considered as conspecific in the Flora Iranica are distinct species. Silene commelinifolia var. isophylla is considered as a synonym of S. eremicana. The numbers of herbarium specimens (voucher) are emended and the descriptions of each species are completed. The chromosome number of S. eremicana, 2n=4x=48 is reported for the first time. The karyotype of each species is presented.

A taxonomic revision of Silene nocturna species complex (Caryophyllaceae) in Italy

The taxonomy of the closely related Silene capraria, S. neglecta and S. nocturna in Italy is investigated, by means of morphometric and karyological analyses. The chromosome numbers of S. capraria and S. neglecta (both diploid with 2n = 24) are here reported for the first time. On the basis of the morphological results, we propose the species rank for S. neglecta, and to consider S. capraria as...

in Silene latifolia (Caryophyllaceae)

Both mechanisms predict reduced pollen performance. • In this study, females were crossed with pollen from related and unrelated ...
