Abstract

Based on revisionary work for the forthcoming Flora of Nepal, five new species of Silene are described (S. scoparia, S. procera, S. blepharicalyx, S. vaginans and S. poa), one nomen novum is introduced (S. oreoploca for Melandrium linearifolium), one new combination (S. nyalamensis) is made, and proper usage is clarified for previously misapplied (S. moorcroftiana and S. nepalensis) or neglected (S. thomsonii) names. Illustrations are provided for all taxa discussed.
