Adde: Calyx umbilicatus. Filamenta glabra. Semina dorso 
granulata canaliculata, faciebus plana. 
By the strict application of the canons of priority, this species might be 
cited by the name of S. alpestris, since Silene alpestris, Jacq. (of 1773), 18 
to be referred to the genus Heliosperma: but it is not worth while, from 
the point of view of convenience, to change Persoon’s name, which has been 
in circulation for 90 years, And, on the other hand, Silene campanulata, 
8. Wats., should stand, as the slight difference in spelling is sufficient, 
though it might not satisfy the more critical nomenclaturists.
